4.1/5
The Picture of Dorian Gray er fortellingen om en egoistisk ung mann: Dorian Gray får oppfylt sitt ønske om at et portrett av ham skal eldes, mens han selv forblir ung. Når han oppdager at ingen av hans handlinger får konsekvenser for hans ytre, gjør han alt han kan for å holde maleriet hemmelig. Denne mystiske og spennende romanen er en av Oscar Wildes mest kjente verker, og ikke uten grunn. Det er en bok man sent vil glemme.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life; indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. The novel was a succes de scandale and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.
