The Picture of Dorian Gray

First published in 1890, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic tale of beauty, decadence, and moral corruption. When the handsome young Dorian Gray sees his portrait, he wishes that he might remain forever youthful while the painting bears the marks of age and sin in his place. Indulging in a life of pleasure and vice under the influence of the cynical Lord Henry, Dorian's outward perfection hides a soul growing ever more corrupted-until the consequences can no longer be concealed.

At once a dark parable and a dazzling work of wit, Wilde's only novel remains a provocative meditation on art, morality, and the dangerous pursuit of eternal youth.
