Story 1905.
I explain it.
Narrated by:
Not an appropriate question.
By:
De Profundis (Unabridged) Oscar Wilde.
Also very appropriate echoes from the walls within which your man was encarcerated.
In its first half, Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency.
Overall
Very expressive performance well beyond a simple reading with the wonderful hint of Irish accent.
De profundis definition, out of the depths (of sorrow, despair, etc.).
Written in 1897, while Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in Reading Gaol, De Profundis would become one of his best-known works.
