"The Picture of Dorian Gray "is Oscar Wilde's enduringly popular
story of a beautiful and corrupt man and the portrait that reveals
all his secrets.
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. The result is
a novel that is as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable
author.
