"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel by Oscar Wilde that tells the story of a portrait painted by Basil Hallward, which ages and records the sins of its subject, Dorian Gray. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, who influences him to pursue a life of hedonism and beauty. Dorian wishes for the portrait to age instead of himself, and his wish is granted. He indulges in a life of amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful. The novel faced controversy and criticism, leading to edits and deletions of certain book before publication. The story explores themes of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of society. Dorian's actions lead to tragedy and ultimately his own downfall. The novel has been adapted into films and continues to be a subject of academic and popular interest.

Auteur

  • Oscar Wilde (auteur)

    Oscar Wilde was a prominent figure in the aestheticism movement, engaging in various literary activities such as publishing poems and lecturing on art. He gained fame with his only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which incorporated themes of decadence and beauty. Wilde also wrote successful society comedies and was one of the most renowned playwrights of late-Victorian London. However, his fame was overshadowed by a scandal when he prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for libel, leading to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labor. During his imprisonment, he wrote his last work, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Wilde's life was marked by personal tragedies, including the death of his sister and the loss of his reputation. He left a lasting legacy as a writer and is remembered for his wit and literary contributions.
