About This Novel
The beautiful boy Dorian Gray faced the portrait painted by his friend Hallward and said: "If I could stay young forever and let this portrait grow old... I would trade my soul for youth!" This absurd wish formed the basis of the plot of "The Picture of Dorian Gray", the only novel by Oscar Wilde, a representative writer of aestheticism. Unexpectedly, as soon as this statement came out, it became a prophecy. As a result of the influence of environment and the pursuit of pleasure, Gray fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of self-indulgence until he was completely destroyed. The book also includes two of Wilde's masterpieces, basically covering the essence of Wilde's novels.

This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read... Oscar Wilde's only novel is as dazzling as a carved work of art - the conflict between beauty and ugliness, the contradiction between good and sin... The beauty of this book is fascinating, and its evil is also tempting and depraved... I have recommended it to others, but judging from their mental state after reading it... It seems to be somewhat mentally polluted...

I believe I will read you again and again🌙
Passing by, hope not to miss it.
A good schoolbag contains my world
