De profundis es la ep stola que Oscar Wilde escribi para su compa ero, Lord Alfred Douglas en la prisi n de Reading en marzo de 1897, dos meses antes de que cumpliera su sentencia, la cual fue impuesta por el delito de sodom a. Bella, emp tica, triste, conmovedora, irritante, reflexiva, espiritual... muchos adjetivos pueden definir esta obra, dependiendo del lector. Lo cierto es que, a pesar de la confrontaci n de diversos sentimientos, el autor redacta cada palabra de esta obra con esperanza; esperanza de recibir una respuesta, cualquiera que esta fuera, del principal responsable de su estancia en prisi n.
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. Wilde entrusted the manuscript to the journalist Robert Ross (an ex-lover, and rival to "Bosie"). Ross published the letter in 1905, five years after Wilde's death, giving it the title "De Profundis" from Psalm 130. It was an incomplete version, excised of its autobiographical elements and references to the Queensberry family; various editions gave more text until in 1962 the complete and correct version appeared in a volume of Wilde's letters.
This is a racy story of a middle-age man who suffers deep depression after the sudden and unexpected death of his wife of thirty years, and his attempt to carry out the last wishes of his dying wife...a cruise on the Cunard liner, the QE2. Unfortunately his plans come unstuck with his ill- chosen travelling companion, a prostitute, driving him into an even deeper depression, causing him to contemplate suicide. The story starts in sweaty Hong Kong, has us onboard the luxury liner, touring Thailand's Bangkok, including the red light district, and ending up in Pattaya, once described as having "the biggest brothel in the world". However, after a chance meeting with a young Thai lady, he finally finds redemption.

De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") is a letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to "Bosie" (Lord Alfred Douglas). In its first half Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency.

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".
Facing charges of indecency and wondering if he should abscond to France, Oscar Wilde finally ended up serving a two-year prison sentence in Reading Gaol. It is during this period that he wrote a 50,000 word letter entitled De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") to Lord Alfred Douglas, his lover. In the meantime, his love for his lover had turned into a sort of bitterness, and the tone of this long letter manages to capture that bitterness as well as the extraordinary attachment he felt for Douglas.
