Sinopse

In the Longsellers collection, you will find the most read and loved books of all time.

Published in 1890, The Picture of Dorian Gray, became a classic whenever we talk about about the superficial nature of social relationships and escapism through beauty and art.

The story is about Dorian Gray, a young man of high society, who makes a dark pact to have eternal youth while the painting with his portrait ages. Over time, his life of immoralities and abuses turns the picture into a monster. Wilde's only novel, it was subject to much controversy and criticism in its time but has come to be recognized as a classic of gothic literature.

Oscar Wilde was famous in the 1890s for his very popular plays. Wilde, who was homosexual, would also become known for being prosecuted for "indecent behavior," a charge for which he was convicted and imprisoned between the years 1895 and 1897.

This book also contains the essays Art And Morality, by Stuart Mason, and Biographical Summary, by Arthur Ransome. With this extra content the reader will find a greater understanding of the personal life, the historical context, and the polemics of this great author.

We hope you'll love this book as much we do, and don't forget to check the rest of the collection for more beloved classics.

    Are you sure you know what loss truly means? What about guilt that gnaws at you from the inside, day after day, year after year? Kyle Rain knows. He saw the world shatter, witnessed the abyss of the Rift consume everything he held dear. His family vanished, leaving only an echo in his tormented soul. 
    But the Echo is not just the past. It's a key. A key to saving what's left of the world. A key hidden in the heart of the most dangerous Rift – "Echo-7." 
    Embark with Kyle and his desperate team on a journey beyond the veil of reality. Into the Wasteland, where every step is a fight for survival, where the air trembles with anomalies, and shadows whisper your deepest fears. Come face to face with an entity that feeds on pain and loneliness, one that knows you better than you know yourself. 
    "Echo of the Rift" is not just another post-apocalyptic story. It's a deep dive into the human psyche, an exploration of the limits of the mind and the desperate struggle for redemption. It's a book that will make you question reality, your own memories, the very definition of humanity. 
    Forget everything you've read about the post-apocalypse. There are no tired clichés here. There is only scorched earth, roaring Rifts, the shadows of the past, and a desperate hope for the future that may prove to be nothing but a cruel illusion. 
    Are you ready to peer into the abyss? Are you ready to hear the Echo of the Rift?
