The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde. A shorter
novella-length version was published in the July 1890 issue of the American
periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Wilde then expanded that text into a
novel published as a book in April 1891
The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray by Basil Hallward, an artist
impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord
Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview:
that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly
understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul,
to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted,
and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying
young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every one of
Dorian's sins.
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.
