Description

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde remains a timeless masterpiece that delves into the consequences of vanity, hedonism, and the pursuit of eternal youth. This novel follows the life of Dorian Gray, a young and handsome aristocrat in Victorian England, whose portrait painted by Basil Hallward captures his youthful beauty. As Dorian descends into a life of decadence and moral corruption under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, his portrait mysteriously ages and reflects the moral degradation hidden beneath his youthful façade.

Oscar Wilde's narrative challenges societal norms and explores the themes of beauty, morality, and the duality of human nature. Through vivid prose and sharp wit, Wilde critiques the superficiality of society while delving into the darker aspects of human desires. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" continues to captivate readers with its philosophical depth and provocative storytelling, making it a cornerstone of literature that prompts introspection on the nature of art, identity, and the consequences of unchecked desires.
