"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1890. The story revolves around a young and handsome man named Dorian Gray, who becomes the subject of a portrait painted by the artist Basil Hallward. Upon seeing his own image, Dorian wishes to remain eternally youthful while the portrait ages instead of him. As time passes, Dorian engages in a life of hedonism and moral decadence, influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton. His outward appearance remains unchanged, but the portrait becomes increasingly disfigured, reflecting his inner corruption and sins. The novel explores themes of aestheticism, moral duplicity, and the consequences of living a life devoted solely to pleasure. It's known for its witty dialogue, complex characters, and thought-provoking exploration of beauty, vanity, and the nature of the soul.
