Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray - 1910

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde - Charles Carrington, Paris, 1910 first copyright edition - 15cmx13cm - condition: good, in original publisher's binding (not in the similarly published uniform binding in 1910), with some discolouring and wear to boards and edges, some page foxing. The Picture of Dorian Gray is an 1890 philosophical fiction and Gothic horror novel by Irish author Oscar Wilde. A shorter novella-length version was published in the July 1890 issue of the American periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine,[1][2] while the novel-length version was published in April 1891. As the only novel written by Wilde, it is widely regarded as a classic of both Gothic and English literature, having been adapted many times for films, stage, plays, and other forms of art performances. The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray painted by Basil Hallward, a friend of Dorian's and an artist infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton and is soon enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Knowing that he will lose his beauty with time, Dorian impulsively chooses to sell his soul and asks for the portrait, rather than himself, to age and fade. His wish granted, Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied immoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and visually records every one of Dorian's sins.[3] The Picture of Dorian Gray was initially subjected to significant controversy and criticism following its publication. Largely ignored until the 1980s, it has come to be recognised as Wilde's best-known work, attracting critical academic and popular interest, and it remains one of the most widely read Gothic novels. The Guardian listed it among the 100 best novels ever written in English, and the book has inspired the Dorian Awards since 2009
