Description

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a philosophical novel that explores the complexities of human nature and morality. First published as a serial story in 1890, it was later revised and expanded for publication as a novel. The novel's publication sparked controversy, with some critics accusing the author of violating public morality laws. In response, Wilde defended his work through correspondence with the press, earning him notoriety for his bold artistic vision. The book edition features an aphoristic preface that has become famous in its own right as social and cultural criticism. This 1891 novel is a thought-provoking exploration of aesthetics, morality, and the human condition, presented in a unique and engaging style.
