Portrait of Dorian Gray: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's only novel tells of a beautiful young man whose portrait ages while he remains eternally youthful, free to pursue a life of hedonism and moral corruption. This gothic masterpiece explores vanity, influence, and the price of aesthetic obsession in Victorian London.
