Dorian Gray is young, arrogant, and devastatingly handsome.
Confronted by his beauty in the form of a portrait, and struck by
the terrible realization that he will age, Dorian wishes to retain
his charms forever and finds his desire granted. He abandons
himself to a life of hedonism, vice and murder, yet his face
remains unmarked by his evil. But, hidden in his attic, the
painting ages and corrupts, and one day Dorian must stand face to
face with the man he has become. A perfect depiction of
fin-de-siecle decadence, Oscar Wilde's only novel highlights the
tension between the polished surface and murky depths of Victorian
high society. This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition
of The Picture of Dorian Gray features an afterword by the
playwright and actor Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the
booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
