description: This is the original version of Oscar Wilde's most popular work a haunting novel that shocked late-Victorian England with Its tale of youth, beauty, and moral decay. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a brilliant display of Wilde's characteristic style, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations. The story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth, only to discover the true cost of his bargain as corruption drives him inexorably to a terrible end, holds up a dazzling yet devastating mirror to the fin-de-siecle world, where art meets artifice and decadence wears a seductive mask of wit, privilege, and physical perfection.
