De Profundis by Oscar Wilde is one of the most powerful and personal works of literary confession ever written-a long prison letter shaped by love, betrayal, suffering, art, and spiritual reckoning.

Written during Wilde's imprisonment in Reading Gaol, the letter is addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas, whose relationship with Wilde had become inseparable from his public downfall. In it, Wilde looks back on love, vanity, dependency, humiliation, and loss with extraordinary intensity. What begins as a private reckoning becomes a profound meditation on sorrow, forgiveness, creativity, and the soul.
