The Picture of Dorian Gray was a succes de scandale. Early readers were shocked by its hints at unspeakable sins and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895.

Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, where he is able to indulge his desires while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite...

Admired by all, young Dorian Gray apparently has everything anyone could wish for. But while the man never shows his age or the ravages of his amoral lifestyle, his portrait grows into a hideous visage of depravity and decay. Atypical of his drawing room comedies, Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel is a masterly study of intrigue, moral corruption, and murder, styled after the "decadent" French fiction of the era and the theatrical violence of the grand guignol , and was inspired by an actual episode with...

About this book Reviews ‘Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day – mock me horribly!’ Oscar Wilde’s tale of the young man who sells his soul for eternal youth is one of the best-loved classics of the 19th century; its central image of the ageing portrait one of the most famous in all literature. When Dorian Gray first sees his likeness, painted by Basil Hallward, he is awestruck by its beauty...

Under normal circumstances, I don't like old novels about the interior struggles of people with self-destructive behavior. Nor do I like audiobook readers who offer us goofy voices, rather than just read the book. This book turns both of my prejudices on their heads. Wilde has written so many telling and witty turns of phrase, even the subject matter didn't bog me down. Furthermore, the reader's genuine acting talent made the characters come to life without breaking me out of the narrative.

CLASSIC COLLECTION: When The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in 1891, it evoked a tremendous amount of hostile criticism, in most part due to its immoral content. Oscar Wilde was identified with the "art for art's sake" movement of the nineteenth century which did not subordinate art to ethical instruction. However, this novel is indeed a morality tale about the hazards of egotistical self-indulgence.

Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular works. Written in Wilde's characteristically dazzling manner, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations, the tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused something of a scandal when it first appeared in 1890. Wilde was attacked for his decadence and corrupting influence, and a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the...

Based on Oscar Wilde's compelling supernatural fable of morality vs. mortality, The Picture of Dorian Gray stars Shane Briant as a young English aristocrat who sinks into a world of self-indulgence, until he notices that his portrait ages and takes on the hideous features of his sinful ways.

Entranced by the perfection of his recently painted portrait, the youthful Dorian Gray expresses a wish that the figure on the canvas could age and change in his place. When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait’s degraded image. Wilde’s unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose...
