«El retrato de Dorian Gray» is Oscar Wilde's classic novel, published by Austral in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Victorian London, the novel tells the story of Dorian Gray, a young man of great beauty who wishes that a portrait of him would age in his place. The wish comes true: Dorian retains his youth while the canvas reflects his moral decay. A reflection on beauty, art, ethics and the corruption of the soul.
Spanish edition with translation by Mauro Armiño, in the Austral Clásica collection. The work was originally published in 1890 under the title The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
