Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray

What if your soul aged while your body stayed forever young?

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), by Oscar Wilde, is a haunting novel that explores vanity, temptation, and the dark side of desire.

The story follows Dorian Gray, a handsome young man who makes a fateful wish: that a portrait painted of him would bear the marks of time and sin, while he remains outwardly flawless. As Dorian pursues a life of pleasure and excess under the influence of the witty but dangerous Lord Henry, his hidden portrait grows ever more grotesque, reflecting the corruption of his soul.

Both a Gothic tale of horror and a philosophical meditation on art, morality, and beauty, Wilde's only novel remains one of the most provocative works in English literature.

Timeless and unsettling, The Picture of Dorian Gray is as relevant today as when it first shocked Victorian readers.
