Synopsis
“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
Initially met with controversy and censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel by the incomparable Oscar Wilde. It is bursting with his trademark wit, his love of art, and his embrace of life and all it has to offer.
Dorian, fearful of age and the subsequent fading of his beauty, expresses a wish: that a glorious oil portrait of him suffers the burden of age, and not him. He would sell his soul for it. Unfortunately for him, the wish is granted.
Through Dorian, Oscar Wilde weaves an unforgettable tale about the punishment of excess and misplaced desire.
Told in an exquisite blend of the Gothic and the philosophical, this fable about our obsession with the aesthetic unravels a horrifying truth: it is not if, but when and where our sins will manifest.

About the Author
Oscar Wilde is the author of The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as some of the most quoted lines ever written: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." "I can resist everything except temptation." "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
