The Picture of Dorian Gray
ByPublisher Description
When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter’s stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his moral corruption.

“There is something truly remarkable about reading a story which is not only enthralling in its plot, but also by exquisite prose and evocative imagery. Grandiloquently verbose dialogue fosters the theatricality and pomposity with which the characters conduct themselves and indulge their morally dubious philosophies. An infuriating, heartbreaking, devastating commentary on life, love, wealth, privilege, vanity, and hypocrisy - and that most dangerous combination of a weak and acquiescent mind with a morally bankrupt influencer. I maintain that Lord Henry Wotton is the true villain of this story.
This novel is a undisputed triumph of literature, wholly deserving of the myriad cultural references attributed to it. One could devote a life of study to its meaning and still barely scratch the surface.”redgvsreading

“This book is a treasure trove of amazing, thought-provoking quotes, however, my favorite is:
"...she is a peacock in everything but beauty."
RIP Absolute savage 10/10 Lord Henry, you are a menace.
I highly recommend this book if you love perfectly imperfect characters drive themselves mad with obsession, vanity and regret.”
