"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a familiar story of greed, sin, and arrogance. A young man, infatuated with his own handsomeness and youth as depicted in a perfect portrait, makes a bargain he will come to regret. No one can save him from his appetite for pleasure and his awful fate--not the man who idolizes him, not the woman who loves him, and not even himself! Published in 1890, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is Oscar Wilde's only novel. At first the subject of intense controversy, it has endured as a classic for years. This Canterbury Classics edition includes the beloved story as well as a special heat-burnished cover, foil stamping, and designed endpapers in an easy-to-carry package. A cautionary tale of innocence sacrificed for the sake of vice, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a classic whose lessons are still relevant today.

Oscar. Wilde

Virginia

Of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," Oscar Wilde modestly observes "an idea that is as old as the history of literature but to which I have given a new form." His literary creation, rich with literary allusions and philosophical questions, appalled his first readers, but soon spawned a continuous series of screen and stage adaptions.

Oscar Wilde's classic tale of a man's obsession with physical beauty.
