The Picture of Dorian Gray

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of beauty, morality, and the consequences of hedonism, this novel follows Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait ages while he remains youthful and unblemished. As Dorian indulges in a life of excess and vice, the painting reflects the corruption of his soul. Oscar Wilde's work delves into the tension between art and ethics, challenging societal norms and the pursuit of pleasure at the cost of one's integrity. This compelling narrative serves as both a cautionary tale and a celebration of aestheticism.
