The Picture of Dorian Gray
Original price was: $5.63.$4.22Current price is: $4.22.
As unsettling as it is enthralling, this classic has never looked better. It’s the story of a decadent man and his portrait, engaging in themes of superficiality and societal pressures in a way that is still relevant to the modern day, and probably always will be.
‘A triumph of execution … one of the best narratives of the double life of a Victorian gentleman’ Peter AckroydOscar Wilde’s alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succès de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his depravity. This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel’s immorality.
