The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde?COs enduringly popular story of a beautiful and corrupt man and the portrait that reveals all his secrets?CoThe Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author.Entranced by the perfection of his recently painted portrait, the youthful Dorian Gray expresses a wish that the figure on the canvas could age and change in his place. When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait?COs degraded image. The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde?COs unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences, is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose.
