The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde’s chilling and unforgettable novel, ＂The Picture of Dorian Gray,＂ explores the dark side of beauty and the corrupting influence of vanity. Dorian Gray, obsessed with remaining youthful, makes a fateful wish: that his portrait age instead of him. As he indulges in a life of hedonism and immorality, the painting becomes a grotesque reflection of his inner decay, a visible record of his sins.

This classic of gothic and literary fiction delves into themes of paranoia and the desperate pursuit of pleasure. Wilde’s masterful prose creates a haunting atmosphere, making ＂The Picture of Dorian Gray＂ a timeless exploration of the consequences of unchecked desire and the true cost of eternal youth. This meticulously prepared print edition brings the chilling tale to life.
