The Picture of Dorian Gray

Description

A Gothic-philosophical novel about Dorian Gray, a young man whose beauty is immortalized in a painted portrait. Wishing that he could remain young while the painting bears the marks of age and sin, Dorian embarks on a life of indulgence, vice, and moral corruption. While he retains his youthful appearance, the portrait grows grotesque with each of his transgressions, symbolizing the decay of his soul.
