THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

Découvrez ou redécouvrez Dorian Gray, le personnage mythique d'Oscar Wilde, en Penguin Classic. Jugé immoral, ce roman grandiose sur la dualité, la beauté et le pêché est un des plus grand classique de la littérature anglaise.

Oscar Wilde's alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succès de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

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. Only his portrait bears the traces of his depravity. This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel's immorality.

The novel has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb and is still, today, a very seeked book for its subjects are contemporary.
