Synopsis "The picture of Dorian Gray: Unabridged"

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish author, playwright and poet, who built himself as esthete and hedonist dandy. Inseparable from his huge literary talent, his extraordinary personality, biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation ensured his fame. The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde's only novel, is the eerie fable of Dorian Gray, a naive and irresistible young man, who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. He becomes steeped in sin, but his face remains perfect - while only his portrait, locked away, reveals the blackness of his soul. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral depravity caused a scandal when it ﬁrst appeared in 1890, confronted with the rigid morality of the Victorian era. Just a few years later, the book became an issue in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment and decline. This outstanding novel is a must-read of classic literature and will delight readers of all ages. Find all masterpieces by Oscar Wilde in a beautiful book series by Atlantic Editions: The Canterville ghost, and other stories The importance of being Earnest
