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.

Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a wonderfully entertaining parable of the aesthetic ideal (art for art's sake), and a sneak preview of the brilliance exhibited in plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere's Fan. -Robert McCrum ; The Guardian Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!
