Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854–30 November 1900), better known as Oscar Wilde, was an Irish writer and poet. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant elegance, and exceptional aesthetic sense, Wilde rose to fame in the late Victorian era, especially with the idea of 'Art for Art's Sake' that he propagated. Wilde was also a strong proponent of pacifism, socio-political reform, and libertarianism of his time. Encapsulated here are some of his most loved short stories: from the heart-warming 'The Nightingale and the Rose' and 'The Happy Prince' to the humane tales of 'The Selfish Giant' and 'The Fisherman and His Soul'. Wilde continues to be feted today for his lasting contribution to English literature.
