The Picture of Dorian Gray
Author: Oscar Wilde
Hard cover. Excellent condition.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a Gothic novel that explores the corrupting power of vanity, beauty, and hedonism through the story of a handsome young man whose portrait mysteriously bears the marks of his moral decay while he himself remains outwardly youthful and untainted. Influenced by Lord Henry Wotton’s philosophy of indulgence and aestheticism, Dorian plunges into a life of excess, cruelty, and sin, while his hidden portrait grows ever more grotesque, reflecting the degradation of his soul. Wilde weaves themes of art, morality, and the dangers of unchecked desire into a haunting tale that ultimately shows how the pursuit of eternal youth and pleasure can lead to ruin.
