    About this ebook

    The picture of Dorian Gray is the one and only novel by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1890. This novel was intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence, and had the capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a comparison: as Dorian Gray sinks into a life of sin and sensuality, his body keeps young and strong while his recently painted portrait withers day by day. The picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of Wilde's most important creations.

    Oscar Wilde

    Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 and died on the 30th November 1900. He was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories and one novel. Known for his biting wit, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.
