About This Novel
The British genius Wilde is a classic among the aesthetic works of the British genius Oscar Wilde, and is also the only tragedy in Wilde's life; unique black and white illustrations by the talented illustrator Beardsley, showing sinful passion and decadent style; newly added paintings by the French symbolist master Gustave Moreau; original presentation in Chinese, English and French. "Salome" is a one-act play by British aestheticist writer Oscar Wilde, which can be called a classic among aestheticist works. The story is based on the plot in the Bible where Salome danced for King Herod in exchange for the head of John the Baptist. This biblical allusion was unearthed by Wilde's masterful hand to have the darkest and most profound connotation. The entanglement of desire, the outbreak of abnormal love, and the weird atmosphere are all developed to the extreme by him in this short space. Beardsley, a talented painter who died young at the same time, can also be regarded as the best interpreter of Wilde's demonic works. The translated classic version of "Salome" not only includes many illustrations created for the book by the famous British illustrator Beardsley - known as "one of the most successful collaborations between poets and painters in history", but also adds classic paintings about Salome by the French symbolist master Gustave Moreau - the mysterious and gorgeous religious atmosphere created in the work adds a unique aesthetic experience to readers.
