The Picture of Dorian Gray - Wilde Oscar - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
An extraordinary tale exploring themes of decadence, corruption, and hidden lives, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a masterful work by one of Ireland's most celebrated authors. Recognized as a beloved novel in PBS’s The Great American Read, this story captivates with its portrayal of Dorian Gray, who, beguiled by his own stunning portrait, makes a sinister pact for eternal youth and beauty by sacrificing his soul. Influenced by the charismatic Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian embarks on a treacherous double existence, satisfying every whim while maintaining the facade of a respectable gentleman. However, it's his portrait alone that reveals the consequences of his hedonistic lifestyle. This narrative delves into the hidden life of its protagonist while critically examining the murky underbelly of the late Victorian era. Notably controversial for its depiction of moral transgressions, the novel was later presented as evidence in Oscar Wilde's 1895 trial for indecency.
