The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde's only novel is a dazzling and dangerous fable of beauty, vanity, and moral ruin. When the impossibly handsome young Dorian Gray idly wishes that his portrait might bear the burden of age and sin in his place, the wish is granted: Dorian stays forever youthful while the painting silently records the disfigurement of his every cruelty. Seduced by the epigrammatic philosophy of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian sinks into a secret life of pleasure and corruption — as the hidden canvas grows ever more monstrous. Wickedly witty and unmistakably Gothic, this accessible modern edition presents Wilde's masterpiece newly typeset for today's readers.

Vad den bra, nej. Har jag nu ungefär 5 minuter efter att ha lyssnat klart på den redan glömt bort ungefär allt som inträffade, absolut. Är det dock en klassiker med en betydelse som spelar roll, ja de är det. Att inse att du inte kommer se likadan ut. Hur mycket dem alla var homosexuella mot varandra. En älskar att måla en annan människa. En blir förälskad i hur en annan ser värden. Och en annan Grey, blir förälskad i nån annan. The curse är lite random också, bara att han skär sönder tavlan som har visat honom sitt andra jag, blir han gammal och grå.
