About this book
In the late 19th century, Oscar Wilde penned "The Picture of Dorian Gray," a novel that delves into the intertwining themes of art, beauty, and morality. The narrative revolves around Dorian Gray, a young man captivated by his own allure and the hedonistic teachings of Lord Henry Wotton. A pivotal element in the story is a mysterious portrait that ages and bears the consequences of Dorian's debauchery, while he remains outwardly unscathed. This psychological exploration of vanity and corruption continues to captivate students of literature and fans of classic fiction, offering a thought-provoking glimpse into the darker facets of human nature.
