The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
The novel tells the story of Dorian Gray, a young and beautiful man whose portrait becomes a mirror of his soul. Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian pursues a life of pleasure and sin, while his portrait ages and shows the effects of his immoral actions - not his own face. The book explores themes of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of hedonism.
