Завораживающая и интригующая история человека, пожелавшего навеки сохранить молодость и заставить собственный портрет стареть вместо себя. Дориан Грей, аристократ удивительной красоты, продал душу в обмен на исполнение желания. Но он не знал, что цена окажется слишком высока. Он перестанет различать добро и зло и будет разбивать сердца, толкать людей на самоубийство, предавать. Искусство окажется губительнее, чем думал Дориан.

Единственный роман Оскара Уайльда при жизни автора вызывал яростные споры, а ныне признан непревзойденным шедевром мировой литературы.

Captivating and intriguing story of a man who wished to keep his youthful looks and made his portrait age in his stead. To make his wish come true Dorian Gray, an astonishingly hsndsome aristocrat, sold his soul. Little did he know that the price would prove to be too high. He would no longer be able to tell good from evil, he would break hearts, betray people, and even push them towards ending their life. Dorian never could have imagined just how destructive art can be. Oscar Wilde’s only novel was very controversial in his lifetime, but nowadays it is seen as an unparalleled masterpiece of world literature.

Цитаты

His beauty had been to him but a mask, his youth but a mockery. What was youth at best? A green, an unripe time, a time of shallow moods, and sickly thoughts.
