The Picture of Dorian Gray

“The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought, and sold, and bartered away.”

A young man’s face remains untouched by time, while his hidden portrait bears the marks of his corruption. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a haunting exploration of beauty, desire, and moral decay. Wilde’s only novel, it combines wit, aesthetic brilliance, and a dark vision of a soul destroyed by vanity and pleasure.
