Description
xA beautiful jacketed hardback edition of Oscar Wilde's classic novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, with new, full-color illustration by Eugenia Nobati.
This classic novel about the frailty of human beauty and sensual experience and the futility of vanity remains as powerful today as when it was first published in 1891. A truly extraordinary piece of work, The Picture of Dorian Gray has come to be regarded as the finest novel of the aesthetic and decadent movements. In this cautionary tale, the handsome Dorian Gray wishes that his portrait should age rather than himself, and then launches on a life of excess and depravity, with shocking consequences. Whether you're approaching The Picture of Dorian Gray for the first time, or want to experience it afresh with new illustrations, this unabridged collectible edition is perfect for any lover of classic literature. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Illustrated Classics series brings together handsome hardcover editions of classic works, beautifully presented with full-color, specially-commissioned illustrations, patterned endpapers and dust jackets.Author: Oscar Wilde

By Oscar Wilde
xOscar Wilde was born in October 1854 in Dublin. After attending Trinity College in Dublin and Magdalen College in Oxford, Wilde embarked on a career as a poet, quickly establishing himself as a leading figure in the aesthetic movement. Shortly after his marriage to Constance Lloyd, Wilde accepted the editorship of Lady's World, an obscure magazine whose fortunes he revived. Simultaneously, his own writing career took off. He was at the height of his powers when the unwise prosecution for libel of Lord Alfred Douglas, led to imprisonment and social disgrace in 1895. He died in exile in 1900, aged 46.
