Description

Handsome Dorian Gray stays forever young while his portrait carries every mark of his hedonistic life. Wilde's tale of beauty, vanity, and moral decay in high society. Spoken as when the face in the mirror stays perfect and the canvas will not forgive a thing.

Author

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was born in Dublin, took a double first at Magdalen College, Oxford, and made conversation a form of literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the one novel — beauty, bargain, and a portrait that keeps the score. The Importance of Being Earnest is the comedy in which nothing is earnest except the jokes. Prison and exile followed the trials. Style was an ethic. Scandal became a second plot.
