Picture of Dorian Gray Collins (370614413)

'Только как get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.' When Basil Hallward рисует portrét young, handsome Dorian Gray, he falls prey to его dazzling beauty. Afraid, що его Youth и Looks will waste away, Dorian expresses a Wish, что его portrét, and no he, will age and fade over time. Его волшебство является за granted, и over susuing years, Dorian indulges in every kind of vice and pleasure, never ageing nor disfiguring. Лише його портрет, поднятый к миру, ярмарка маркеров его действий, и как его soul grows ever more wasted and corrupted, devastating consequences lie in wait. Picture of Dorian Gray — это exploration of purpose of art, superficial nature of you and beauty, and conflict between morality and intemperance. First published in it complete, uncensored form in 1891, it is Oscar Wilde's only novel.
