About this audiobook

"Intentions" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of four essays that delve into the role of art, literature, and criticism in society. Through complex and witty dialogues, Wilde explores aestheticism and its impact on the artist and audience. His writings challenge conventional norms, advocating for 'art for art's sake' and sparking philosophical discussions about beauty, truth and the purpose of artistic expression.
