«El retrato de Dorian Gray» is Oscar Wilde's gothic novel, published by Club Internacional del Libro in hardback (223 pages, in Spanish).
In this novel, Dorian Gray, a young man of exceptional beauty, becomes fascinated with the portrait painted of him by Basil Hallward. He wishes to keep his youth intact, and his wish comes true: while he remains unchanged, the canvas accumulates the marks of his soul and of a life of excess.
The work was originally published in 1890 and belongs to the Biblioteca de Clásicos Universales collection, with a translation by Julio Gómez de la Serna.
For readers of gothic novel classics, interested in social criticism and the decadentism of the Victorian era.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
