About the Author

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, celebrated for his wit, flamboyance, and keen social observations. A leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement, Wilde believed in art for art’s sake, emphasizing beauty and individual expression above all else. His literary legacy includes masterful plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband, which satirize the social conventions of Victorian England with sharp humor and insight.

Beyond his dramatic works, Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, explores themes of vanity, morality, and the pursuit of eternal youth, cementing his reputation as a profound observer of human nature. His essays and fairy tales further reveal a unique blend of lyrical beauty and biting social critique. Wilde’s life, marked by both dazzling success and profound personal tragedy, continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, ensuring his place as one of the most enduring literary figures of the modern era.

Blurb

What would you sacrifice to remain forever young and beautiful? In The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde crafts a chilling tale of vanity, moral decay, and the cost of indulgence.

Dorian Gray, a strikingly handsome and charming young man, makes a wish that his portrait, rather than he, should bear the marks of his sins and the passage of time. As Dorian plunges into a life of hedonism and excess, his youthful face stays untouched, while his hidden portrait reveals the true toll of his choices.

Wilde’s only novel is a masterpiece of gothic fiction and philosophical depth, exploring themes of morality, aestheticism, and the duality of human nature. With its rich prose and sharp wit, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains as compelling and relevant today as when it was first published.

Perfect for readers of classic literature, gothic tales, and philosophical fiction, this novel delves into the darker side of beauty and desire with unforgettable intensity.
