The Picture of Dorian Gray (translation Classic)
About This Novel
The only novel by the British genius Oscar Wilde is a shocking, strange and gorgeous legendary work. It perfectly explains the aesthetic concept of "art for art's sake" and reveals all the mysteries deep in Wilde's soul from form to content. Classic translation by the famous translator Rong Rude. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a masterpiece of Oscar Wilde's novels and a masterpiece of his aesthetic novels. 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. This book also includes two of Wilde's masterpieces, "The Crime of Lord Arthur Saville" and "The Canterville Ghost", which basically contain the essence of Wilde's novels. This book contains twenty original illustrations, which are of great collection value.
