The Picture Of Dorian Gray
The Picture of Dorian Gray, first published in 1890, follows the story of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man whose portrait ages while he remains youthful, allowing him to live a life of indulgence and moral decay without visible consequences. Wilde explores themes of vanity, corruption, and the nature of beauty as Dorian becomes increasingly consumed by his desires. The novel was controversial upon release for its perceived immorality, yet it has since become a classic, praised for its sharp wit and exploration of the darker side of human nature.
