Description :

An astounding novel of decadence and the secret life within, from one of Ireland’s greatest writers. Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray makes a Faustian bargain to sell his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, where he is able to indulge his desires while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only Dorian’s picture bears the traces of his degeneracy. A knowing account of a secret life and an analysis of the darker side of late Victorian society, the Picture of Dorian Gray offers a disturbing portrait of an individual coming face to face with the reality of his soul.
