In the stately London home of his aunt, Lady Brandon, the well-known artist Basil Hallward meets Dorian Gray. Dorian is a cultured, wealthy, and impossibly beautiful young man who immediately captures Basil's artistic imagination. Dorian sits for several portraits, and Basil often depicts him as an ancient Greek hero or a mythological figure.

In this renowned work and his only novel, Oscar Wilde paints the disturbing portrait of the effects of evil and depravity on a young dandy in late-19th-century England. Merging elements of Gothic horror and decadent French fiction, the novel centers on an arresting premise: As Dorian Gray delves deeper into a life of crime and unrefined sensuality, his body retains a flawless youth and vitality, while the recently painted portrait of himself becomes more and more a hideous evidence of evil, which he manages to keep hidden from the world. For over a hundred years this spellbinding tale of...

A farce, one of the best ever written, cleverly constructed and delightfully amusing. There is only the slightest attempt at the sketching of character, while most of the personages are at best but caricatures; the Wilde's skill is brought to bear chiefly upon the situations and the lines. It so happens that this farce contains more clever lines, puns, epigrams, and deft repartees than any other of modern times, but these are after all accessory. A farce may be written without these additions--it might well be pure pantomime. Wilde has thrown them in for full measure. Show Excerpt ck. That is...
