«Il ritratto di Dorian Gray» is Oscar Wilde's gothic novel, published by Giunti-Barbera in paperback (320 pages, in Italian).
Dorian Gray, a young man of extraordinary beauty, keeps his youth intact while the portrait made of him ages and reflects the corruption of his soul. Received with scandal by Victorian critics, this work by Oscar Wilde has been considered a manifesto of decadentism and a critique of utilitarian morality.
Complete edition in the Passepartout collection, with an introduction by Luca Scarlini and translation by Luciana Pirè.
For readers of classics, gothic literature and fiction with a philosophical background.
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.
