In Oscar Wilde's glittering London society, polished manners hide ruthless ambition and dangerous secrets. Sir Robert Chiltern, a celebrated statesman, finds his reputation and marriage threatened by the mysterious Mrs. Cheveley, whose arrival exposes the brittle gap between public virtue and private truth. Around them move Lord Goring, a brilliantly witty bachelor, Lady Chiltern, who demands moral perfection, and a circle of aristocrats and diplomats whose conversations sparkle with irony while concealing self-interest. Set over a single tense day, An Ideal Husband blends satire, romance, and moral intrigue as it probes scandal, forgiveness, greed, exploitation, and the temptation to profit at another's expense. In Lord Goring's elegant library, where style itself becomes a philosophy, Wilde turns fashion, vulgarity, and social distinction into signs of a world built on performance. The result is a sharp, elegant society drama about love, loyalty, and the cost of trying to live up to an "ideal" image. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
