PenguinΒ presents The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, read by John Moffatt.Β I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me ... Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day - mock me horribly!Β A story of evil, debauchery, and scandal, Oscar Wildes only novel tells of Dorian Gray, a beautiful yet corrupt man. When he wishes that a perfect portrait of himself would bear the signs of ageing in his place, the picture becomes his hideous secret, as it follows Dorians own downward spiral into cruelty and depravity.Β Β The Picture of Dorian Gray is a masterpiece of deals made in fear and ignorance, and the evil in mens hearts, and is as controversial and alluring as Wilde himself.Β Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.
