Description

"How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrible, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young... If it were 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, haunts him until it finally becomes unbearable. In this dark tale of duplicity and mortality, Wilde creates a world where art and reality collide.
