The Picture of Dorian Gray

di Oscar Wilde (Autore)

Callow Simon (Narratore)

HarperCollins, 2017

The classic of eternal youth. 'How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young… If it was only the other way!' Wilde's first and only published novel recounts the story of handsome Dorian Gray who upon having his portrait painted desires that it will age and grow ugly while he may remain eternally beautiful. The painting, which reflects each of Gray's sins and transgressions in its hideousness, haunts him until it finally becomes unbearable. In this dark tale of duplicity and mortality, Wilde creates a world where art and reality collide. The Picture of Dorian Gray, a best-selling work of fiction, is a testament to Oscar Wilde's unparalleled storytelling prowess. The novel's exploration of the human obsession with beauty and youth remains a top discussion in literary circles. For fans of Mary Shelley (Frankenstein), Majestic Classics (Dracula Illustrated), Wounded Warrior Publications (Twelve Years a Slave), Emily Brontë (Wuthering Heights), and Bram Stoker (The Last Voyage of Demeter).
