De Profundis (Latin "from the depths") is a letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to "Bosie" (Lord Alfred Douglas).
During its first half Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency. He indicts both Lord Alfred's vanity and his own weakness in acceding to those wishes. In the second half, Wilde charts his spiritual development in prison and identification with Jesus Christ, whom he characterises as a romantic, individualist artist. The letter began "Dear Bosie" and ended "Your Affectionate Friend".
Wilde wrote the letter between January and March 1897, close to the end of his imprisonment. Contact had lapsed between Douglas and Wilde and the latter had suffered from his close supervision, physical labour and emotional isolation. Nelson, the new prison governor, thought that writing might be more cathartic than prison labour. He was not allowed to send the long letter which he was allowed to write "for medicinal purposes"; each page was taken away when completed, and only at the end could he read it over and make revisions. Nelson gave the long letter to him on his release on 18 May 1897.

This is NOT the "full original version" of De Profundis. Many De Profundis books, purported to be complete editions, are actually the partial version, published posthumously, that excluded any reference to the Queensberry family for fear of reprisals. The partial versions begin, “Suffering is one…” or “My place would be…” If you’d like to read the full version of this remarkable document, I recommend the Dover Thrift Edition, which begins, “Dear Bosie, …”Product details

De Profundis Illustrated edition by Oscar Wilde Francson Classics Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The sad and illuminating search for the self and the soul of one of the world's literary geniuses. Here is an artist who having gone through the shadow of humiliation worse than death, emerges with new insights of who he is, of what Art is, and of the role of love in understanding what being human is all about.
As compelling as it is jaw-dropping.
This is my favorite book by Oscar Wilde. This edition is perfect, easy to travel with and a convenient size. Great seller, prompt delivery.
There is a typo on the cover, in the title. Seriously?!?!?! It's not "De Profoundis," it's "De Profundis."
I thought that I would enjoy it more, but I only got thru about 10% of the book
Hello, this is not the whole book. This is just short version.
Another classic - not subject to words that describe novels or modern lit. In my opinion, one would do best to be familiar with Wilde as a literary figure to see the differences between these writings and his other works.
Total complete nightmare. No one at or support can find the free illustrations or audio book that are supposed to come with it. Three emails and 45 minutes on the phone with support and everyone is clueless. Where are the BONUS items • The Canterville Ghost Audiobook. and • 10 Illustrations about Oscar Wilde. We and no one at can find them?!
