Dorian Gray is having his picture painted by Basil Hallward, who is charmed by his looks. But when Sir Henry Wotton visits and seduces Dorian into the worship of youthful beauty with an intoxicating speech, Dorian makes a wish he will live to regret: that all the marks of age will now be reflected in the portrait rather than on Dorian’s own face. The stage is now set for a masterful tale about appearance, reality, art, life, truth, fiction and the burden of conscience.
Oscar Wilde’s only full-length novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray is a lasting gem of sophisticated wit and playfulness, which brings together all the best elements of his talent in a reinterpretation of the Faustian myth.

Dorian se ale vlivem obrazu dostane do špatné společnosti, která ho stahuje stále hloub a hloub do bažin lidské existence a z mladého aristokrata se stává muž,který se neštítí ničeho- dokonce ani (SPOILER) vraždy právě Harwarda. Je to velmi působivý psychologický román, který by neměl minout nikoho. Doporučuji.
