A haunting tale of beauty, corruption, and the cost of eternal youth.
When Dorian Gray sees his portrait—capturing his youthful perfection—he makes a reckless wish: that he might remain forever young, while the painting alone ages in his place. As he falls under the seductive influence of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian plunges into a secret life of vice and indulgence, shielded from consequence by his unchanging appearance. But beneath the surface, the portrait begins to wither and warp, reflecting every sin he hides.
Oscar Wilde’s only novel caused a scandal upon its release and was later infamously used as evidence in the trial that destroyed him. A provocative meditation on vanity, morality, and the dark side of desire, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains as disturbing—and dazzling—as ever.
