In his captivating portrayal of the youthful and handsome Dorian Gray, Basil Hallward succumbs to the allure of his captivating beauty. Fearing the inevitable loss of his youthful charm, Dorian desires that his portrait, and not he, should bear the marks of time. His wish is granted, and over the ensuing years, Dorian indulges in every vice and pleasure, without experiencing the effects of aging or disfigurement. However, his portrait, hidden from the world's eyes, serves as a silent witness to his actions, and as his soul becomes increasingly corrupted and wasted, devastating consequences await.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray is a profound exploration of the purpose of art, the superficial nature of youth and beauty, and the profound conflict between morality and intemperance. Originally published in its complete and uncensored form in 1891, it stands as Oscar Wilde's sole novel, a masterpiece that has captivated readers for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 197 x 21 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780008516116                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oscar Wilde","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097952579834,"sku":"9780008516116","price":5.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/29564b41b7cdf0775a0a2160662a3595.jpg?v=1640148312","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/picture-of-dorian-gray-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
