About the book

What would you give to remain forever young and beautiful? Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, The Picture of Dorian Gray, explores the chilling price of vanity, desire, and moral corruption.


In the heart of Victorian London, the handsome and impressionable Dorian Gray becomes the muse of an artist, Basil Hallward, who immortalizes him in a stunning portrait. But when Dorian makes a fateful wish—that the portrait age instead of him—he embarks on a dangerous path of hedonism and moral decay.


As the years pass, Dorian remains youthful and flawless while his hidden portrait bears the grotesque marks of his sins. Torn between his thirst for pleasure and the haunting consequences of his actions, Dorian's journey is a gripping tale of the human soul's fragility and the destructive allure of vanity and excess.


A blend of gothic horror and philosophical reflection, The Picture of Dorian Gray is as provocative and relevant today as it was when it was first published. Wilde's brilliant prose and sharp wit weave a narrative that is both captivating and unsettling, ensuring its place among the greatest literary works of all time.


Praised for its insight into human nature and its exploration of timeless themes, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains one of the most celebrated novels in literature. Acclaimed for its provocative storytelling, the book has inspired countless adaptations and continues to captivate readers with its haunting brilliance.


Experience the thrilling decadence and moral dilemmas of Dorian Gray's world. Add The Picture of Dorian Gray to your collection today and immerse yourself in Oscar Wilde's iconic exploration of beauty, power, and the human condition.
