«O Retrato de Dorian Gray» is the gothic novel by Oscar Wilde, published by Visão in hardback (256 pages, in Portuguese).
Dorian Gray, a young man of extraordinary beauty, sees his wish never to age fulfilled: while his appearance remains unchanged, a portrait of him ages and shows the decay of his excesses. Wilde builds an atmosphere of luxury and corruption in a reflection on beauty, morality and vanity.
Portuguese translation by Maria de Lourdes Sousa Ruivo. The novel was originally published in 1890.
For readers of Victorian classics and gothic fiction.
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.
