«Il ritratto di Dorian Gray» is the novel by Oscar Wilde, published by Demetra in paperback (324 pages, in Italian).
The novel follows Dorian Gray, a young man whose beauty is captured in a portrait while he retains his appearance over time. His obsession with beauty and pleasure drags him into a life of excess, while the painting reflects the marks on his soul. It is a story about morality, decadence and the price of eternal youth, set within Dark Romanticism.
Complete edition from the Passepartout collection, with an introduction by Luca Scarlini and translation and notes by Luciana Pirè.
For readers of classics and Gothic literature, as well as for those who prefer to read Wilde in Italian.
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.
