The Picture of Dorian Gray (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023154857)

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.
