About this book

In an era defined by the clash between aestheticism and morality, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde explores the dark allure of beauty and its profound consequences. As Dorian becomes entranced by his own portrait, he grapples with the unyielding pursuit of pleasure and the haunting reality of his choices. Wilde masterfully intertwines themes of vanity and the duality of human nature, compelling readers to confront the price of eternal youth and the shadows of the soul. Ideal for students, literary enthusiasts, and those intrigued by philosophical debates, this novel serves as a timeless reflection on the interplay of art and ethics. Dive into Wilde's provocative narrative and discover the chilling implications of a life lived solely for aesthetic gratification.
