The cult novel in a classic embossed leather cover: Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray is one of the most famous characters in world literature. As astonishingly beautiful as he is, his view of the world is untainted and naive. Seduced by the witty cynic Lord Wotton, Dorian plunges recklessly into the lascivious nightlife of London. Excess and pleasure awaken in him a deep desire for everlasting youth – and in a wondrous way, it is no longer he who ages, but a portrait of him. However, Dorian's thoughtless pact with dark forces has cruel consequences.
