The Picture of Dorian Gray

by

Oscar Wilde's only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' is a classic tale of vanity, moral corruption, and the pursuit of eternal youth. The story follows Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait ages while he remains youthful, allowing him to indulge in a life of hedonism and vice without consequence. The novel explores themes of aestheticism, the nature of beauty, and the duality of human nature.
