Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray

In „The Picture of Dorian Gray“, Oscar Wilde creates a tale of desire, temptation, and the dangers of living only for pleasure.

Dorian Gray remains forever young, while his portrait grows old and twisted, reflecting every secret sin. Both a shocking novel of its age and a timeless warning about vanity and corruption, Wilde’s masterpiece continues to resonate today.

Combining gothic suspense with sharp philosophical insight, it is a story that unsettles, provokes, and enthralls-an unforgettable classic of English literature.

This is the English-language paperback edition with all 20 chapters of the 1891 print of „The Picture of Dorian Gray“.
