Description

"

In the decadent splendor of Victorian England, Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray unravels the haunting tale of Dorian Gray, a young man whose extraordinary beauty becomes both his greatest gift and ultimate curse. Entranced by a portrait that captures his radiant youth, Dorian makes a fateful wish: to remain forever young while the painting bears the marks of his sins and the ravages of time.


Guided by the hedonistic philosophy of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian plunges into a life of indulgence and moral decay, all while his outward appearance remains untainted. As the years pass, the portrait becomes a grotesque reflection of his corrupted soul, a chilling reminder of the price of vanity and unchecked desire.


This special Carlini Classics annotated edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray offers a deeper exploration of Wilde’s enduring masterpiece, featuring:



  • A detailed biography of Oscar Wilde, shedding light on his life and the controversies that shaped his work.

  • An annotated guide to Wilde’s other works.


With its timeless meditation on beauty, ethics, and the consequences of excess, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains as compelling and relevant as ever. This annotated edition invites you to uncover the layers of Wilde’s darkly enchanting story and its lasting impact on literature.
