Beschreibung

What would you give to remain forever young and beautiful? Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, The Picture of Dorian Gray, explores the chilling price of vanity, desire, and moral corruption.

In the heart of Victorian London, the handsome and impressionable Dorian Gray becomes the muse of an artist, Basil Hallward, who immortalizes him in a stunning portrait. But when Dorian makes a fateful wish—that the portrait age instead of him—he embarks on a dangerous path of hedonism and moral decay.

As the years pass, Dorian remains youthful and flawless while his hidden portrait bears the grotesque marks of his sins. Torn between his thirst for pleasure and the haunting consequences of his actions, Dorian's journey is a gripping tale of the human soul's fragility and the destructive allure of vanity and excess.

A blend of gothic horror and philosophical reflection, The Picture of Dorian Gray is as provocative and relevant today as it was when it was first published. Wilde's brilliant prose and sharp wit weave a narrative that is both captivating and unsettling, ensuring its place among the greatest literary works of all time.

Praised for its insight into human nature and its exploration of timeless themes, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains one of the most celebrated novels in literature. Acclaimed for its provocative storytelling, the book has inspired countless adaptations and continues to captivate readers with its haunting brilliance.

Experience the thrilling decadence and moral dilemmas of Dorian Gray's world. Add The Picture of Dorian Gray to your collection today and immerse yourself in Oscar Wilde's iconic exploration of beauty, power, and the human condition.

    "Sweet Dreams'' consists of 42 original poems with bedtime, sleep, and dreaming as their central themes.  The poems are traditional in form  and follow rhyme and meter, done in in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses.         Topics include moonlit nights, snowy days, dreams of dinosaurs in the bedroom, annoyance at a Key West rooster crowing all night, what it would be like to wake up as a worm, the oddness of a fever ailment, gazing at autumn leaves from a gently rocking hammock, the comforting protection of an unseen guardian angel, and fancies like "The Softest Bed'' in which a child envisions himself curling up, wrapping himself in his warm, bushy tail, and sleeping like a fox.         Started when Telander himself was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this  poetry collection spoken by the author is a work of caring for boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod.          Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe children of all ages before sleep.  It's soothing for adults, too, since all of us do, indeed, sleep.

    INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    "Sioux’s harrowing reality TV ordeal cuts deep, and her subsequent self-assurance is endearing and infectious. It adds up to an inspiring account of reclaiming artistic agency.” - Publisher’s Weekly 
    When you’ve been told over and over that you belong at the bottom, how do you come out on top? Dance Moms star and triple threat Nia Sioux shows the way via her story of resilience, triumph, and defining success for herself. 
    Young dancer Nia Sioux was only nine years old when she stepped into stardom as one of the original cast members of Lifetime’s reality TV show Dance Moms. Nia learned new choreography week after week and competed against dancers from across the country as well as at her own studio. Perhaps her greatest obstacle was suffering through her dance teacher’s ranking of the girls against each other in her infamous pyramid, where Nia spent the majority of her time on the bottom—all in front of an audience of millions. 
    But there was much that viewers didn’t see. How her experiences in the studio went far beyond what made it into the show. How she was ostracized for not fitting into an aesthetic that wasn’t designed for girls like her. How her friendships and her mental health crumbled under the strain of the show. How she lost control of her story and her voice. 
    But don’t be fooled—this is a story about resilience. Nia is not looking for pity, sympathy, or validation as she reflects on her experiences. Instead, she is choosing to use her story as a celebration of triumph. Nia finally gets to tell her story in her own way and in her own words. In this captivating memoir, Nia reclaims both the spotlight and her narrative. 
    In addition to going behind the scenes of the seven seasons of Dance Moms, she shows how she fought against the negative perceptions that dominated her tween and teen years and emerged as a confident young woman secure in her talents and her direction. Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or stuck at the bottom of the pyramid will be inspired by Nia’s story of overcoming. “Despite barriers and constant naysayers, assumptions and criticisms, only you know who you are inside and out,” Nia says. “And you have the power to create your own narrative, your own level of success.”
