It is a work of exquisite beauty. Few writers of any era can match Wilde for his marvelous manipulation of the English language. And yet, there is something more, something almost autobiographical about this curious retelling of the Faust myth. In the end Oscar Wilde, along with his creation, Dorian Gray, discovers that beauty is a gift, but only for a season. \"The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish at forty,\" Lord Henry asserts. \"Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlaywright Mike Parker's version posed the intriguing question, \u003ci\u003eWhat would you give in exchange for your soul?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692448977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692448977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordcrafts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.23d","brand":"Mike Parker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483633856767,"sku":"9780692448977","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25620c45-30b7-4b39-8828-a1c39bc262b0.jpg?v=1778039672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oscar-wildes-dorian-gray-mike-parker-9780692448977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
