Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of literature's most haunting explorations of beauty, vanity, temptation and the price of a life without limits.
When the young and striking Dorian Gray sees the portrait painted by his friend Basil Hallward, he becomes painfully aware that his beauty will one day fade. He wishes that the portrait could grow old in his place. When that impossible wish begins to come true, Dorian is drawn into a world of pleasure, influence and increasingly dark choices — while his outward appearance remains untouched and the hidden portrait reveals what he is becoming.
This illustrated edition brings Wilde's Gothic classic to life visually, giving new form to its unforgettable characters, atmosphere and defining moments while preserving the power of the original story.
