Salomé is a play by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1891. It tells the biblical story of Salomé, the stepdaughter of King Herod, who demands the head of John the Baptist as a reward for dancing for the king. The play is known for its lush language, sensuality, and exploration of themes such as desire, power, and the destructive nature of obsession. Salomé is a must-read for those interested in Decadence & the Fin-de-Siècle literature.
