Oscar Wilde's only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who
sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Now, distinctively
packaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator
Malika Favre. When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter's
stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his
own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in
the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he
himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that
the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only
the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain
forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of
hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his
moral corruption.
