The Picture of Dorian Gray

This is the -Penguin English Library Edition- of -The Picture of Dorian Gray- by Oscar Wilde. 'I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me ...Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day - mock me horribly!'. A story of evil, debauchery and scandal, Oscar Wilde's only novel tells of Dorian Gray, a beautiful yet corrupt man. When he wishes that a perfect portrait of himself would bear the signs of ageing in his place, the picture becomes his hideous secret, as it follows Dorian's own downward spiral into cruelty and depravity. -The Picture of Dorian Gray- is a masterpiece of the evil in men's hearts, and is as controversial and alluring as Wilde himself. -The Penguin English Library- 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
