Summary

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a captivating tale of beauty, moral corruption, and the pursuit of eternal youth. This classic novel follows the story of Dorian Gray, a young man whose life takes a dark turn when he becomes the subject of a portrait painted by the talented artist Basil Hallward. Enchanted by his own beauty, Dorian wishes that he could remain forever young while the portrait ages in his place. 
As Dorian delves deeper into a life of indulgence and hedonism, he is influenced by the charismatic and cynical Lord Henry Wotton, who encourages him to embrace a lifestyle devoid of morals. With each act of vice, the portrait reveals the true cost of Dorian’s choices, reflecting the degradation of his soul while he remains outwardly unchanged. 
Wilde’s novel explores themes of vanity, the consequences of a life lived without accountability, and the complexities of human nature. It serves as a profound commentary on the superficiality of society and the dangers of sacrificing one’s integrity for pleasure. 
This audiobook version brings to life Wilde’s rich prose and sharp wit, inviting listeners to experience Dorian’s mesmerizing journey and moral descent. Perfect for lovers of gothic fiction and philosophical literature, The Picture of Dorian Gray is a timeless exploration of the duality of man and the price of vanity.
