Young, beautiful Dorian Gray sits for a portrait and makes a reckless wish: that the painting should grow old while he stays forever young. Under the spell of the witty, corrupting Lord Henry, Dorian plunges into a life of pleasure and cruelty, and while his face stays flawless, the hidden canvas records every sin. Oscar Wilde's only novel is a dazzling, darkly witty Gothic tale about beauty, influence, and the price of a soul.
