Sinossi

"I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me ... Why did you paint it?"

Oscar Wilde's only novel chronicles the tale of Dorian Gray, a man whose stunning beauty masks a twisted soul. After making a fateful wish that his flawless portrait would age while he remains untouched by time, the painting transforms into a grotesque mirror of his moral decay. As Dorian descends deeper into vice and malice, his secret canvas bears witness to every sin. This haunting exploration of human corruption captures the darkness that lurks beneath polished surfaces, embodying the same provocative spirit that defined Wilde's own tumultuous life.
