O Crime De Lorde Arthur Savile by Oscar Wilde
After a fashionable palm reader predicts he will become a murderer, a young aristocrat decides he must commit the crime before marrying to preserve his future happiness and honor. His darkly comic attempts to kill someone go awry, skewering the pretensions of high society and the credulity of pseudoscience. In the end, he resolves the ominous prophecy in an unexpected way and settles into domestic bliss, leaving a witty satire of fate, morality, and Victorian respectability.
