Tale of a notorious Victorian libertine and his life of evil excesses. Though Dorian's hedonistic indulgences leave no blemish on his ageless features, the painted portrait imbued with his soul proves a living catalogue of corruption, revealing in its every new line and lesion the manifold sins he has committed.

This celebrated masterpiece, Oscar Wilde's only novel, a mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense, has endured due to its artful prose and the philosophical questions it raises, as well as the scandal it caused upon its initial publication in 1890
