Book Description:
The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s darkly elegant tale of beauty, decadence, and moral corruption. When the young and handsome Dorian Gray sees his portrait, he wishes to remain forever youthful — and the wish is mysteriously granted. While Dorian indulges in a life of hedonism and vice under the influence of the cynical Lord Henry, his portrait bears the marks of his sins, growing more grotesque with each transgression.
As the years pass and the painting becomes a haunting reflection of his soul, Dorian is forced to confront the cost of eternal youth. Wilde’s only novel is a dazzling fusion of Gothic horror and philosophical insight, examining vanity, conscience, and the price of living without consequence.
