Low stock: 1 left
A young man, named Dorian Gray, becomes obsessed with his own beauty and the portrait of himself painted by artist, Basil Hallward. Dorian wishes that the painting would age instead of him so that he can continue to see his younger self. Dorian begins to experiment with different hedonistic activities and desires, which unleash a series of rotting effects on the painting and expose his true evil nature. Dorian is then haunted by the consequences of his immoral actions and must decide if he will live with those consequences or die as a man.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor had requested that Wilde reduce the length. However, Wilde also published it as a complete novel. The content, presentation and style of The Picture of Dorian Gray made it one of the most controversial works at the time of its release. Today it is considered a literary classic and has been adapted numerous times into various media formats
