The Picture of Dorian Gray  -  Oscar Wilde

KORTE INHOUD

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, posits the idea that the only thing worth pursuing in life is beauty. The novel's protagonist, entranced by the perfection of his portrait and realising that his beauty will one day fade, makes a Faustian bargain whereby the figure on the canvas ages in his place. Gray soon enjoys a hedonistic lifestyle of debauchery and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait's image, leaving his exquisite beauty seemingly intact.
