Romanzo brillante, provocatorio e profondamente affascinante. Con uno stile elegante e tagliente, Wilde esplora temi come la bellezza, la moralità e la corruzione dell’anima. Il personaggio di Dorian è magnetico e inquietante, simbolo di un’eterna giovinezza pagata a caro prezzo. Ogni frase è intrisa di ironia, intelligenza e riflessione filosofica. Un capolavoro che lascia il segno e continua a parlare con forza al lettore moderno.
