Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller As unsettling as it is enthralling, this classic has never looked better. It’s the story of a decadent man and his portrait, engaging in themes of superficiality and societal pressures in a way that is still relevant to the modern day, and probably always will be. When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter's stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his moral corruption. This edition also includes four additional stories from Oscar Wilde's fairy tale collection, A House of Pomegranates.
