A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering setting in London society, and a showering of Wildean witticism are only a few of the reasons why this play has enjoyed hugely successful revivals in London, in New York, and on the silver screen. This 1895 drama is eerily prescient, as it examines the plight of a promising politician, desperate to hide a secret in his past. With empathy and wit, Oscar Wilde explores the pitfalls of holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us.

My theatre company is presenting this play and i needed copies quickly. Also they were a lot cheaper than the original publishers.

"An Ideal Husband" überzeugt vor allem durch die unglaubliche Wortgewandtheit von Oscar Wilde. Zunächst fürchtete ich, dass das Buch schwer zu verstehen sein, aber das ist es überhaupt nicht. Oscar Wilde gelingt es wunderbar, durch die Kraft seiner Worte zu überzeugen. Ihm gelingt durch das Spiel mit Wörtern und Konstruktionen ein Meisterwerk, das sprachlich gesehen seinesgleichen sucht.
Der Inhalt ist sozial-kritisch und sehr zynisch kritisiert Wilde das Verhalten in den oberen Gesellschaftsschichten und dies gelingt ihm wunderbar durch Ironie.
Ein fantastisches Buch, das man mal gelesen haben sollte.
