Il ritratto di Dorian Gray è l'opera più famosa di Oscar Wilde. Pubblicata per la prima volta sul Lippincott's Monthly Magazine del luglio 1890 fu accolta dalla critica con scandalo e furiose polemiche. Nell'Inghilterra della regina Vittoria non si poteva scrivere un'opera in cui si affermava la supremazia dell'artista sulle leggi morali; la falsità di ogni credo che limiti la facoltà di godere in tutti i modi possibili; la necessità di ricercare tutto ciò che vi è al mondo di bello, raro e intenso. Nonostante un iniziale disorientamento il pubblico, e non solo quello inglese, seppe riconoscere il valore di questo affascinante apologo e ne decretò il successo che dura ancora oggi. Oscar Wilde seppe veramente vivere la propria vita come un'opera d'arte ed è questo che fa di lui un simbolo, suggestivo e affascinante, anche in un'epoca disincatata come la nostra.

Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is towards happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand. Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace.
