A timeless story of beauty, hedonism, and morality
A new addition to the widely read Capstone Classics series, The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Gothic Classic, by Oscar Wilde, explores the brutal consequences of hedonism, loose morals, and an obsessive focus on beauty and pleasure. Wilde’s novel follows a young man, Dorian Gray, who becomes infatuated with his own beauty as it is captured in a portrait by artist Basil Hallward.
Dorian's physical beauty endures through the years as his picture grows ever more grotesque. The portrait becomes a window into his soul, withering and decaying as he pursues a hollow life, devoid of meaningful achievement or virtue.
One of the great Victorian Gothic novels,The Picture of Dorian Gray is as insightful and gripping as when first published.
This deluxe hardback Capstone edition includes a new Introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon that offers historical and cultural context for the modern reader and provides deeper insights into the text.
Perfect for every fan of literature – or simply those looking for their next great story – The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unmissable classic in the tradition of horror, gothic, dark, and supernatural fiction.
