2018réf. BIBHB0004744262018. Hardcover. New. ABOUT THE BOOK: A Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde was first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. But it offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers. In response Wilde aggressively defended his novel. The longer and revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray published in book form in 1891 featured an aphoristic preface�a defence of the artist's rights and of art for art's sake. The content style and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own right as a literary and artistic manifesto. The novel an archetypal tale of a young man who purchases eternal youth at the expense of his soul was a romantic exposition of Wilde's own Aestheticism. The novel became a classic of English literature and was adapted into a number of films most notably a 1945 version that earned multiple Academy Award nominations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Wilde was an AngloIrish novelist playwright poet and critic and a celebrity in late 19th century London. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin on 16 October 1854. His father was a successful surgeon and his mother a writer and literary hostess. Wilde was educated at Trinity College Dublin and Magdalen College Oxford. After graduating from Oxford University he lectured as a poet art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. As a dramatist many of Wilde's plays were well received including his satirical comedies.His output was diverse. His greatest talent was for writing plays and he produced a string of extremely popular comedies. On May 29 1884 Wilde married a wealthy Englishwoman named Constance Lloyd. They had two sons: Cyril born in 1885 and Vyvyan born in 1886. More than a century after his death Wilde is still better remembered for his witty imaginative and undeniably beautiful works.

réf. 1889The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde A masterpiece of Victorian Gothic literature and a timeless exploration of decadence vanity and the Faustian bargain The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's only published novel and his most enduring work. Plot Summary: Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait the young and beautiful Dorian Gray expresses a wish: that the painting would age instead of him. To his astonishment his wish is granted. As Dorian plunges into a life of hedonistic pursuit moral decay and unspeakable sins his face remains youthful and flawless. Meanwhile locked away in his attic his portrait bears the grotesque marks of his every transgression growing increasingly hideous with each act of cruelty and depravity. Key Themes: Aesthetics vs. Morality: The novel famously champions the philosophy of "Art for Art's Sake" while simultaneously exploring the consequences of a life lived without ethical constraints. The Duality of Human Nature: The pristine Dorian and his decaying portrait serve as a powerful symbol of the conflict between one's public facade and one's corrupted soul. The Pursuit of Pleasure: The story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of hedonism and the emptiness of a life devoted solely to the pursuit of beauty and sensual experience. The Faustian Bargain: Dorian's deal—to retain his youth at the cost of his soul—echoes the classic myth of selling one's soul for personal gain. The Corruption of Innocence: The novel traces the tragic transformation of an innocent young man into a corrupted and monstrous figure. Literary Significance: Upon its first publication in 1890 the novel was met with public outrage and critical scorn for its "indecent" and "unmoral" themes. Yet it has since been recognized as a classic of Western literature celebrated for its brilliant witty dialogue its evocative prose and its profound philosophical questions about art life and the nature of sin. Why You Should Read It: Witty and Profound Prose: Wilde's signature epigrams and dazzling dialogue are on full display. A Gripping Gothic Tale: It functions as a suspenseful and chilling horror story. A Timeless Character: The enigmatic Lord Henry Wotton with his seductive and cynical wit remains one of literature's most memorable figures. Relevant Exploration of Vanity: Its critique of narcissism and the obsession with eternal youth feels remarkably modern. The Picture of Dorian Gray is more than a story; it is a mesmerizing and unsettling mirror held up to the darkest corners of the human soul. Books, Inc. hardcover
