«El retrato de Dorian Gray» is Oscar Wilde's gothic novel, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Young Dorian Gray poses for the painter Basil Hallward and, before the portrait, wishes that the canvas would age and show the consequences of his actions. Dorian embarks on an existence of excess and decadence while his appearance remains intact, and the painting becomes a hidden mirror of his morality.
This edition belongs to the collection «Clásicos de la literatura universal», number 21, from Edimat Libros. The work was originally published in 1890.
For adult readers interested in gothic fiction and classics of world literature.
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.
