"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is Oscar Wilde's first and only novel, a mystical and horrifying plunge into the depths of human indulgence and self-gratification.
An immediate sensation when it was first published, Wilde's dark tale relates the life of its titular character - Dorian Gray - a beautiful young man who has a grim secret: his portrait, which he keeps hidden away in an attic, suffers all of the ills that Dorian would experience (aging, decay and the deterioration that normally results from a life of decadence), leaving him as flawless and seductive as the day the portrait was created. As Dorian sinks further into his dissolute and depraved existence, his sins become more and more egregious, resulting in heartbreak, suicide...and murder.
One of the most thrilling and spine-tingling books of the late 19th century, Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
