The Picture of Dorian Gray

A timeless tale of vanity, temptation, and the price of eternal youth. The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's only novel, and it remains one of the most provocative and enduring classics in English literature.

The story follows Dorian Gray, a young man whose beauty is so captivating that he makes a fateful wish: while he remains forever young, his portrait will bear the marks of age and corruption. What begins as a dream of eternal youth soon spirals into a haunting exploration of sin, conscience, and the dark side of desire.

Wilde weaves wit, elegance, and biting social critique into this unforgettable narrative, exposing the moral decay beneath a glamorous surface. Both a Gothic novel and a philosophical reflection on art, beauty, and corruption, this work has shocked, fascinated, and inspired readers for over a century.

Celebrated as one of the greatest novels of the 19th century, The Picture of Dorian Gray has been adapted into films, plays, and countless cultural references, cementing its place as a cornerstone of world literature.
