A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Oscar Wilde's decadent and disturbing novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. Dorian is a good-natured young man until he discovers the power of his own exceptional beauty. As he gradually sinks deep into a frivolous, glamorous world of selfish luxury, he apparently remains physically unchanged by the stresses of his corrupt lifestyle and untouched by age. But up in his attic, hidden behind a curtain, his portrait tells a different story... This hardback is part of VINTAGE COLLECTOR'S CLASSICS, a series of luxurious books especially crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Sumptuous design meets the highest quality production. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.
This book made me question everything. Dorian was such a complex and flawed character. Wilde was such a great writer and this book only proved that. No words will do this book justice. Dorian Gray is a beautiful and eccentric young man. One day he will get his portrait drawn, and that changes everything. That is the beginning of his ruin. As the portrait begins to age instead of him and also shows his loathsome self.
