The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray What if you could stay young forever—but your soul paid the price? Dorian Gray has it all: devastating beauty, endless charm, and the world at his feet. When an artist captures his perfection in a portrait, Dorian makes a wish that will damn him forever—let the painting age instead of him. What follows is a descent into London's glittering underworld of excess, scandal, and sin. As Dorian's face remains flawlessly young, his portrait becomes a grotesque mirror of his corrupted soul. But when the past comes calling and his dark secrets threaten to surface, Dorian discovers that some bargains extract a price far beyond what you're willing to pay. Sharp, scandalous, and unnervingly prescient, Wilde's only novel is a masterpiece of gothic horror that feels startlingly modern. It's a story about beauty, morality, and the masks we wear—and what happens when those masks become our prison. A timeless tale of vanity, vice, and the true cost of staying forever young.
