THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

A haunting tale of vanity corruption and the pursuit of eternal youth The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s only novel and one of his most provocative works. When the handsome and hedonistic Dorian wishes that his portrait will bear the burden of age and sin instead of him his wish is granted—with chilling consequences. As he indulges in a life of pleasure and moral decay his portrait grows ever more grotesque reflecting the darkness of his soul. A masterpiece of gothic fiction and philosophical depth Wilde’s novel explores the price of beauty and the nature of the human soul.
