«O Retrato de Dorian Gray» is the gothic novel by Oscar Wilde, published by Mediasat in hardback (222 pages, in Portuguese).
Dorian Gray is a young man of extraordinary beauty who keeps his appearance intact while a portrait of him, painted by Basil Hallward, accumulates the marks of time and of his life of excess. Influenced by Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian gives himself over to hedonism and corruption; the work explores Wilde's aestheticism and the relationship between art, morality, and decadence.
It belongs to the Mil Folhas collection and features a translation by Margarida Vale Gato. Work originally published in 1890.
Suitable for reading clubs and for readers of classics interested in Victorian gothic 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.
