Il ritratto di Dorian Gray
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Ci ho messo molto di me. Basii Hallward è come ritengo di essere; Lord Henry è come il mondo ritiene che io sia; Dorian è come vorrei essere - in altri tempi, forse." Quando, nel luglio 1890, sul "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine" uscì "Il ritratto di Dorian Gray", si gridò allo scandalo. Nel preparare il romanzo per la successiva edizione in volume, Oscar Wilde fu quindi spinto dalle furiose polemiche e dalle pressioni commerciali e legali a eliminare scene o battute sessualmente allusive, e ad ampliare alcuni capitoli, inserendo nella trama elementi melodrammatici e moraleggianti. Eppure quella pubblicata sul "Lippincott's" era una versione edulcorata del romanzo, in cui i riferimenti di natura erotica o omoerotica erano stati censurati. Quello che qui si pubblica, con un ricchissimo apparato critico, è il testo originale del dattiloscritto inviato da Wilde alla rivista all'inizio del 1890. Il Dorian Gray come l'autore lo aveva ideato si rivela una grande sorpresa: oltre che più breve, è un romanzo assai più audace e perturbante.
