Young Dorian Gray wishes to keep his beauty forever, and it is his portrait that ages and reflects the ravages of a life of excess. The work blends the fantastic tale with a parable about the relationship between art and life, morality and desire, set in Victorian London.
Oscar Wilde's only novel (original title: The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1890), in an edition by Jean Gattégno in the Folio classique collection.
For readers of classics who appreciate the gothic atmosphere and reflections on beauty, pleasure and morality.
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.
