Synopsis:

What if you never aged, but your soul bore the scars of your sins?
Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, is a dark, provocative tale of vanity, temptation, and moral decay. Dorian Gray is a young man of unmatched beauty who, after a careless wish, finds himself blessed—or cursed—with eternal youth. His portrait, hidden away from the world, becomes a chilling mirror of his inner corruption. As Dorian plunges deeper into a hedonistic lifestyle, the painting grows more grotesque, bearing the burden of his immoral acts.
Wilde’s dazzling prose and biting wit take aim at Victorian society’s obsession with appearances, exposing the danger of choosing surface over substance. Both a philosophical reflection and a suspenseful gothic drama, this novel remains one of the most haunting explorations of the cost of living without conscience.
Daring, stylish, and unforgettable, The Picture of Dorian Gray challenges readers to how far would you go to stay young forever?
