Sobre este artículo
Folio Press: J. M. Dent, London, 1974. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Frank martin (illustrator). 2nd Edition. Book is in very fine condition, blue binding over cloth with fine gilt spine lettering and gilt blind stamp on front. Internally book is flawless except for a small spot where a book plate was removed on front paste down. The haunting story of Salome's dance for the head of John the Baptist was crystallized by Wilde into a great work of art, magnificent in its tension between barbaric and elemental savagery of theme and supreme sophistication of style and image. A profoundly human tragedy, with its surging passions of the flesh and ots disturbing quest of the spirit, it is the most perfect and powerful of Wilde's dramas. A fine collectible.
Sinopsis
Salome is a tragic play written by Oscar Wilde, which tells the biblical story of Salome. Salome dances the Dance of the Seven Veils so well that she receives a boon from her stepfather Herod Antipas. Much to his dismay and her mother's delight she requests the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter. Though John is a favorite of Herod and under his protection, Herod cannot rescind his boon.Wilde originally wrote the play in French, and it was translated three years later into English.

I have number 183. This is a wonderful illustration book. Every page is a work of art not to mention the Wilde part of it.
