Paperback £6.60
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" unveils a captivating tale of vanity, moral decay, and the consequences of unchecked desire in the opulent world of Victorian England. Focused on the eponymous Dorian Gray, a young and strikingly handsome aristocrat, the novel begins with the portrait painted by the talented artist Basil Hallward. Dorian's tragic flaw lies in his wish for eternal youth and beauty, leading him to make a Faustian bargain: his soul in exchange for the preservation of his youthful appearance, while the portrait ages and bears the burden of his sins. As Dorian indulges in a life of debauchery and moral degradation, his portrait becomes a grotesque reflection of his inner corruption. With each transgression, Dorian's soul darkens, while the portrait records the toll of his sins in chilling detail. Through the character of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde delves into the complexities of human nature, exploring themes of beauty, morality, and the pursuit of pleasure. As Dorian's life spirals out of control, Wilde paints a haunting portrait of a man consumed by his own desires, ultimately leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" stands as a timeless masterpiece, challenging readers to confront the consequences of their actions and the true nature of the human soul.
