The setting in the London, from the perspective of the aristocracy. A society that like to have meaningful discussion and does not shy from debate. Secrecy and honesty, embedded in rumors found in part truths. A portrait painted revealed the artists and reveals the object. The philosophy and story are part of a self-reflection.
The introduction reveals that this is the only novel written by Oscar Wilde. It is a story that has some truth to Wilde’s own life, giving a deeper meaning now than initially written. The book was written extremely well with a fluid pace.
