“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece about greed, sin, and mortality. Dorian is a handsome young man who is infatuated with his beauty and youth. When he has his image depicted in a perfect portrait and follows a life of hedonism and excess, he makes a bargain he will soon come to regret.

Dorian’s portrait begins to reflect the danger of pursuing a life of pleasure and beauty at the expense of one's moral integrity. While Dorian remains young and beautiful on the outside, his portrait becomes a horrifying representation of his true self. No one can save him from his appetite for pleasure and his awful fate--not the man who idolizes him, not the woman who loves him, and not even himself.


Join the millions of readers who have made The Picture of Dorian Gray a timeless classic of English literature that explores the themes of morality, decadence, and the corrupting influences of society. Wilde combines elements of horror, suspense, and romance, making it an enduring classic that has been recreated for stage, film, and television for decades. Wilde is widely considered one of the most influential writers in English literature.
