The Picture of Dorian Gray - Clothbound Classi... - Oscar Wilde
Part of "Penguin's" beautiful hardback "Clothbound Classics" series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 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. Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty.
The novel was a succes de scandale and the book was later used as evidence against "Wilde at the Old Bailey" in 1895. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.
