The Picture of Dorian Gray Summary

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.

The young, beautiful and highly susceptible Dorian Gray is pulled into the hedonistic haze of Londons high society, where he falls under the pernicious influence of Lord Henry Wotton. Oscar Wildes nightmarish tale gorges on pleasure and sin, corruption and vanity, as the story takes further dark twists and a Faustian deal threatens Grays very soul. He will go to any lengths to keep his fleeting beauty and youth, but his painted portrait reveals the truth of his dark and twisted nature, changing its appearance at every misdeed, until the monstrous horror of Dorians scarred soul is too much for him to bear.
