A haunting classic that explores beauty, vanity, and the cost of a corrupted soul.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's only novel and one of the most influential works of Gothic literature. When the exceptionally handsome Dorian Gray wishes that his portrait would grow old in his place, his desire is mysteriously fulfilled. As he pursues a life of pleasure, excess, and moral decadence, Dorian's youthful appearance remains untouched, while his portrait gradually reveals the devastating consequences of every selfish act. Through its unforgettable characters and brilliant prose, Wilde examines the nature of beauty, temptation, conscience, and the hidden price of living without remorse.
