The Picture of Dorian Gray
About this book
? What if your reflection revealed the truth your soul tries to hide?
In The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde delivers a haunting masterpiece about youth, vanity, and the dark side of human desire.
When the handsome and impressionable Dorian Gray gazes upon his portrait, he makes a reckless wish — that the painting will age instead of him. From that moment, he is free to pursue pleasure, sin, and indulgence without consequence… or so he believes.
As years pass and his outward beauty remains untouched, Dorian's portrait transforms into a grotesque image of his decaying soul — a chilling reminder that no one can escape the corruption within.
Blending wit, elegance, and psychological depth, Wilde exposes the hypocrisy of Victorian society and the eternal conflict between morality and temptation. The Picture of Dorian Gray is more than a gothic tale — it is a philosophical mirror reflecting the cost of vanity, the danger of excess, and the fragility of the human spirit.
? Click "Buy Now" and experience The Picture of Dorian Gray — a timeless story where beauty becomes a curse and desire leads to damnation.
