Oscar Wilde - paperback

Oscar Wilde’s enduringly popular story of a beautiful and corrupt man and the portrait that reveals all his secrets—The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author.

Entranced by the perfection of his recently painted portrait, the youthful Dorian Gray expresses a wish that the figure on the canvas could age and change in his place. When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait’s degraded image.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde’s unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences, is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose.

 

La siempre popular historia de Oscar Wilde sobre un hombre hermoso y corrupto y el retrato que revela todos sus secretos: El retrato de Dorian Gray es una novela tan extravagante y controvertida como su incomparable autor.

Fascinado por la perfección de su retrato recién pintado, el joven Dorian Gray expresa su deseo de que la figura en el lienzo pueda envejecer y cambiar en su lugar. Cuando su deseo se hace realidad, el retrato se convierte en su espantoso secreto mientras sigue una trayectoria descendente de decadencia y crueldad que deja sus huellas sólo en la imagen degradada del retrato.

El retrato de Dorian Gray, la inolvidable interpretación de Wilde de un trato fáustico y sus consecuencias, está narrada con su característico ingenio incisivo y su prosa diamantina.
