“The Picture of Dorian Gray”, “El retrat de Dorian Gray”, és la novel·la més famosa del autor irlandès Oscar Wilde. És la història del jove Dorian que, influït pel cinisme del seu amic Lord Henry, qui l’aparta del sensat pintor que els presenta, arriba a desitjar el fet de conservar l’aspecte de joventut més que cap altra cosa, fins al punt que la seva ànima pacta amb el diable per lligar-lo al seu homònim quadre. D’aquesta manera, ells conserva la seva perfecta bellesa a mesura que el personatge del quadre va envellint.

Oscar Wilde's alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succes de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his depravity. This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel's immorality.
