Picture of Dorian Gray (Wilde - Canon ed.)

Author: Oscar Wilde

ISBN: 9781944503246

Binding: paperback

Section: Fiction

Lord Henry Wotton devotes himself to convincing Dorian Gray that physical beauty is the only thing in life worth pursuing. The younger man falls entirely under Wotton's alluring influence, and Dorian eventually gets the aesthete's sole desire: his appearance never changes, no matter what he does to his own body. Instead it is a portrait of himself that is increasingly ravaged by time and his mistreatment of himself and others.
