    About this ebook

    The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian is selected for his remarkable physical beauty, and Basil becomes strongly infatuated with Dorian, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode of art. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme. It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in modern times, the book has been referred to as "one of the modern classics of Western literature.

      Don't look at yourself too closely in the mirror or you might spot some wrinkles starting to crack through. Wilde's foray into horror is stupendous!
    • 5/5
      A brilliant read, with gothic undertones. A monstrous shadow is at play throughout, which grows more and more immense as the story progresses. The author was fearless in his exploration of love and passion, sensation, intellect, youth, ageing, and morality. I finished with a lingering sadness that he was vilified for exploring such themes.
    • 4/5
      I read every tidbit of information in this version of the book, including the chronology and all the appendices.
      It's interesting that such a short (so much so that it is not even technically a novel) book with measures taken to thwart certain interpretations, would wind up so controversial, and lead to the jailing of the author.

      I found the plot interesting, and the writing a bit tiresome at times. Though that is likely more due to the period it was written, and less the quality of writing. The dialogue was surprisingly interesting though, despite the antiquity of the story. I truly enjoyed all the notes and history delivered bout both the story and author, giving it that much more depth and interest.
    • 4/5
      I'll just say that I read this edition, because there are so many editions it would take me forever to find mine. It was an old, ratty paperback that I borrowed from someone else so, needless to say, I don't think I'll ever locate it.

      I really liked this book. It was scathing, witty, dry and had some of the humour that Wilde is so well-known for. The language is quite antiquated and really took me quite some time to get used to. But I took my time with it and really enjoyed it in the end. I think the dialogue took the longest to get used to, because he wasn't always clear with who said what.

      I liked all the characters and thought that the narrative was really well-constructed. I thought it was a really engrossing, short story and found it really readable.

      It was quite thrilling in the end and I look forward to reading more of Wilde's work.

    • 5/5
      The Picture Of Dorian Gray (1891) by Oscar Wilde. A classic tale of selling your soul, in this case for vanity’s sake. Dorian Gray will always look young even as his sins are transferred to the once beautiful portrait. But, as always, the price must be paid.A morality tale of the first order.
    • 5/5
      Big fan, reread this for a project. Wish Wilde’s publisher hadn’t rushed the added chapters to this version, however.Later edit: Boy, I really didn't feel like writing much when I put that one up. Ok, this is a 4.5 star rating. I adore Wilde's prose, no matter how much my peers might criticize his aesthetic style. I know it's hypocritical to the "message" of the story (subject of the paper mentioned earlier) but I don't really care, it's indulgent and lovely and beautiful. I don't have the skills required to describe it as nicely as he could. Ah, what a guy.
    • 4/5
      A book about an immature young man, who comes into contact with a cynical perspective of a tired old man. It explores the theme of eternal youth and beauty, and evil within ourselves. Overall, it is a great story, which incorporates many thought-provoking themes.
    • 5/5
      Fantastically good read!! Thought this book may have dated and been difficult to read. I was very wrong. This is an excellent read that really draws the reader in and does not allow them to escape until the end! Thoroughly recommend it.
    • 4/5
      Always loved Wilde, not only for his great gift of writing, but for his dominating personality. He had no time for anyone who was not down with his mission: art for art's sake, beauty in all forms for its own end. It seems obvious now, but it was completely revolutionary at the time.
    • 5/5
      Oscar Wilde's only novel is, in my opinion, his greatest work. While the plays spark with wit and wisdom, with humour and satirical fun, Dorian Gray is of another class entirely. It is a serious look at the consequences of immorality, of vanity and greed and selfishness. And it does not flinch to paint the 'picture' in all of its gory details. It's contemporary today, as proved by a recent film adaptation (starring the drool-worthy Ben Barnes) which was quite accurately adapted from the book and is, to my mind, required reading. Or should be.
    • 5/5
      This was pretty painful to start with since it seemed like Wilde could not resist a zinger. The first chapters with Wotton are like Monty Python's Oscar Wilde sketch. However, once Gray sees the first change in the portrait, the novel becomes a ruthless criticism of everything. Wilde does not even spare himself. The descriptive passages of London at night and the interior decor are quite lush. (Also, it amazes me that people were sufficiently in awe of Huysman's Against Nature that it could be posited as morally poisoning a reader.) This is a variation on Dostoyevsky's if God does not exist, everythng is permitted. If one does not age, then one will act like everything is permitted. Wilde shows, however, that the cult of Art (for which he bore some responsibility) can never be a foundation for a right existence. Everything will pass. What does not? What should remain?
    • 4/5
      The time I took to read this book is no reflection upon what I thought of it. Oscar Wilde's command of the English language is sublime. Simple descriptions that remain with with you of bees shouldering their way through the flower stems, or the mellow November sun,. Throughout this book drips with class an quality that suits the lead characters upper class lives so eloquently that anything else would be insulting.
      This story that would sit well alongside the the life of King Solomon as he explores life through all its excesses. Dorian Gray tries everything that his corrupted soul desires knowing that it will not affect his beautiful looks. A deep exploration of vanity that highlights the futility of it all.
      I loved this book, really loved it, not a wasted word in sight and to think that it is available free in ebook.
    • 5/5
      An incredible Gothic novel that is one of my all time favourite books.When Dorian has his portrait painted by the brilliant artist Basil Hallward, he realises he will never look as young and beautiful as he does in that oil canvas. He will age and die, and it will stay forever young. Enraged by this he cries out a plea, selling his soul for an eternally youthful face. So the story follows Dorian as he walks down a path of destruction that ultimately leads to his downfall.I love this book. I’ve read it so many times and it never ceases to amaze and fascinate me. It’s such a masterpiece. For starters it’s written in such a beautiful way, the language is so beautiful and is full of Wilde’s well known flourish and wit. It’s a wonderful example of a woeful Gothic tale.The story also continually draws you in, more and more you wish for Dorian’s redemption, that eventually he will find his way back onto the right path and move away from such destruction. I think that’s a mark of how wonderful the book is, that even when all hope is lost, you still have hope for the character.The book was seen as incredibly shocking when it was published and I can see why. Though it doesn’t go into explicit details about the kinds of behaviour Dorian resorts to, it’s not hard to conjure up some ideas. I think the book also goes a long way to criticise the society at the time and the way we very things like beauty.“Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.”The characters are great, not only Dorian, but Basil and Lord Henry, forever the angel and devil on Dorian’s shoulders, attempting to steer him in the right path. Oscar Wilde truly is a master of writing. I don’t know what it is about The Picture of Dorian Gray but I return to it again and again and each time I find something new or intriguing about the text. It’s a very readable book, especially for one written such a long time ago. If you are someone who is often put off by the word classic, this is definitely one to start with. It’s not a long winded tomb of a book, but a very suspenseful and exciting story.I love the touch of supernatural in the story and the descriptions of Dorian’s portrait as it becomes marred and disfigured have always filled me with a sense of dread. “I knew nothing but shadows and I thought them to be real.” The Picture of Dorian Gray is a book that is beloved by many, and I think that alone stands as testament to what a fascinating book it truly is.

      Oscar Wilde wrote a great book, but, y'know, I think he might've been full of himself.

    • 4/5
      There's something in nineteenth-century British literature that I am drawn to—there is a certain musicality or lyricism to it that I love, despite its inspirations often being delusional, fantastical and at times even fetishistic. So it is of little surprise that I found The Picture of Dorian Gray a sweeping read, and one that I had little dissatisfactions with, stylistically.When painter Basil Hallward first sets his eyes upon Dorian Gray, he is a young, captivating soul of speechless beauty. Combined with his social standing, his allure sets his name aflame across countless of social spheres within England. The story begins when Basil makes Dorian his muse, and asks him to sit for a portrait that, little do they both know, will become much more than the painter's magnum opus. Lord Henry, a wealthy friend of Basil, quickly enters the scene, instilling in the Adonis a roaring, dizzying passion for life: “the few words that Basil’s friend had said to him…had touched some secret chord that had never been touched before, but that he felt now was vibrating and throbbing to curious pulses” (21). It is the whimsical, at times paradoxical musings of Lord Henry that transform Dorian Gray, whose adoration for his own portrait become the root of the story’s unfoldment.This was my first proper exposure to Wilde’s work, and it surely was a pleasant experience. I do not know the reason as to why this was his only novel, but it certainly encapsulates his interest in the Aesthetic Movement (“Art for Art’s Sake”). Filled with a rather spiritualistic love for art, humor, and thrill it makes for a lovely (and easy) read, though it lacks the depth, the grittiness, that I was looking for. But this may very well be as a consequence of its loyalty to the values of Wilde’s movement, where art existed free of social, moral and even logical obligations. This novel lacks substance or a core, but ultimately our own conclusions, our own thoughts emerge out of it to appease our own sense of what good literature should be.
    • 5/5
      Excellent illustration of the human psyche and the effects of status, money and arrogance.

      Oscar Wilde famously proclaimed that there was no such thing as a moral or immoral book, only one that was badly or well written. I would never say that Dorian Gray is badly written. It is full of pretty words, lush descriptions and witty repartee. However, it lacks a compelling central character. It, in fact, lacks any compelling characters. It works as a morality play, but not as a fully wrought novel. We never understand Gray beyond his shiny exterior. As I read, I kept thinking, "what a book this would have been if Conrad had written it!" Then I would think what if Poe or Hawthorne had.

      When Marlowe sees the horror that had become Kurtz, the reader is deeply affected. Though absent for nearly all of the book, Kurtz becomes for the reader a man of substance, depth, at one time, of integrity. When Othello, Hamlet, Oedipus fall we mourn. While deeply flawed these men represented some level of worthiness. One does not mourn the destruction of a piece of frippery. From the start Dorian is nothing more than that. A pretty boy. He is vapid, callow beyond belief. His descent into turpitude is not affecting because he was really nothing to begin with.

      As for the plotting, there are large chunks that could have been axed. The catalogue of collectors and collections gave Wilde a chance at heaping on gorgeous details, but bogs down the story. Gray's rumored depravity is too vague to be believed in. Granted a great bit of the novel was axed by the publisher and Wilde himself donor is hard to fault the author here. Yet, Stevenson is able to impress us with the abject hideousness of Hyde's corruption without being especially graphic. The plot only really becomes interesting with the murder of ---.

      The two foils to Gray, Lord Henry and Basil, are really no more interesting than Gray. Basil the hand wringing moralist could have been the most interesting character. Lord Henry who plays Mephistopheles to Gray's Faust is a witty bore. How Gray could have fallen under his spell is mystery.

      I wound not call Dorian Gray a bad book, just marginally silly one. It earns three stars on the merit of the last 1/3. Perhaps it should have been a short story.
    • 2/5
      The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic story that after reading it, it is more of a good idea rather than a good book. Dorian Gray is the ultimate narcissist, so much so that he makes a Faustian pact for him to be young and beautiful forever after he receives a portrait from his artist friend Basil Hallward. While his looks remain unchanged, the portrait becomes old and corrupted as he does terrible things in his life, starting with driving his fiancée to commit suicide after breaking up with her because of a poor performance on stage.As I mentioned, it’s a cool idea but not a particularly good book. For one thing, there isn’t a single likeable character in the whole book. Dorian is agonizingly weak and shallow. Basil is soft and wishy-washy. His friend, Henry, is utterly amoral. When a peasant character dies, he’s not concerned about the man’s life but only that the man who killed him in a hunting accident will be considered a bad shot. The characters are thoroughly misogynistic and prejudiced. The novel is filled with long, painful conversations that seem to go nowhere and get old real quick. By the time I got to the end of the novel, I was glad that it was done.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street

      Dorian Gray is a strikingly handsome young man whose beauty attracts degenerate aristocrat Sir Henry Wotton. Dorian's picture has been painted by a talented artist Basil Hallward and Sir Henry becomes desperate to meet Dorian. Sir Henry persuades Dorian to pose for a picture painted by Basil and during the painting sessions, Henry “educates” the young and impressionable Dorian about life. Sir Henry's obsession with youth and his cynical, materialistic outlook on everything begin to slowly affect Dorian. Dorian descends into a decadent world, where he commits despicable deeds while everyone else feels the effects. Lives are destroyed and crimes are committed but Dorian's self-indulgent and depraved life continues. The story takes a twist from here as the picture begins to develop a life of its own.

      The novel is considered a literary masterpiece, complete with Gothic atmosphere and Oscar Wilde's understanding of human nature. It's seems just as relevant today where we are constantly searching for youth and our obsession with fighting age through youthful appearance. The Picture of Dorian Gray remains the symbol of the search for the Fountain of Youth, even though it comes with a tremendous price tag.

      I thought this was a fantastic book and even though the language is very flowery, it's typical of novels written in the 1890's. Once I got into the cadence of it, I found the writing to be fascinating. I'm sorry I never read the book before, but maybe I needed to be older to appreciate the themes of beauty, morality and immortality. I think Wilde would be delighted to know that his book has been generating both good and bad opinions for over a hundred years.
    • 4/5
      Lush and sensual language, an extremely delicious (and malicious) wit, characters so well-drawn I could feel distaste and pity creeping over me—I wish Wilde had written more than one novel.
    • 4/5
      THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY by Miss Oscar WildeAn essay by little Richie D. WHAT A HOOT!! This book puts the "blown" in "overblown!" It's deliciously, delightfully over every top it can find (frankly, I think the only top in the whole book is Lord Henry, and just MAYbe the Duchess of Monmouth) and it's got some of the world's great put-downs in it. The whole "Perhaps, after all, America has never been discovered...I myself would say it has merely been detected" that our own Divine Miss M. adores is one of the best (p64 in the Penguin Classics edition; midway through chapter 3, at any rate). But consider the gorgeousness of Wilde's sensory world: his description of violets as bringing back the memories of failed love affairs (citation eludes me) or the passage in chapter 11 (pp162-3 in Penguin Classics) as follows:"Veil after veeil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its anttique pattern. The wan mirrors get back their mimic life. The flameless tapers stand where we had left them, and besides them lies the half-cut book that we had been studying, or the wired flower that we had worn at the ball, or the letter that we had been afraid to read, or that we had read too often." Beautiful layering of sense images with emotional responses that enhance and inform each other. Not unusual in this book, I must say! There are so many examples that I can cite, that choosing only one or two is very difficult. Among the many things that this book left me with after reading it in 1973, this impression is not one; I was reading it with a sense of hurry and rush because there was going to be a TV movie of the book and I wanted (callow youth that I was) to know what the hell they were talking about! (The actor who played Dorian was nothin' special...or not to my lusty teenaged eyes anyway.) Then the local movie station played the 1945 theatrical film, and THAT was more like it! Donna Reed was in it, and so was Peter Lawford, so there was much more eye candy. Also, the thing was in black-and-white, while the portrait was the only thing seen in color. WOW! The book seemed to me more alive after that film. This wonderful piece of writing isn't a great novel, though. It's been through the mills. It was a magazine novella, and it got Victorianized by ye olde Oscar before it came out in book form. It was a scathing attack on British society, and so they had to find a reason to hate it...apparently the magazine text has much more homo content (for its day) than the book version does. It was attacked as glorifiying vice, so Wilde wrote chapters 3, 5, 15,16,17 and 18 to answer the charges. Seems a shame that there has never been a kind of side-by-side or comparative critical edition done, or at least none that a cursory search reveals. I'd enjoy knowing how much he pulled in his horns. Partly because of this, I think there are structural issues with the story-telling like characters vanishing for extended periods of time (eg, Basil Hallward, whose sanctimonious queeenship gets what he deserves rather too late IMHO, or Lady Wotton whose knowingness about Lord Henry leads me to wonder why she ultimately ran away with some unknown stranger at the end of the book, among others). I think the book's infamy is an artifact of its time and its enduring fame a commentary on our times, since we've changed so much and still so little in the interim. The scandal of Dorian's queerness is relatively dated, his explorations of the drug culture risible to a modern audience, and yet his leading of the youth of his time astray resonates down the years in the uniform hostility it engenders among the parents in the piece. On the whole, a very pleasurable read and one I'm glad to have revisited. Thank you, Divine Miss, for reminding me of it. Respectfully tendered (no one would expect ME to say "submitted," would they?), RMD

    • 5/5
      The most exquisitely written book that I have ever read. I can not fault it. Wilde writes with such grace and eloquence. At times he writes so vividly one feels as if they are right beside Dorian Gray at one of his many soirees, as he is listening to the malicious whispers of Lord Henry, plunging the knife into Basil's throat and finally facing the true horror of his soul in the form of a portrait.The Picture of Dorian Gray is a hauntingly reminiscent tale of the human conscience. Wilde does not hold back upon the darkness that inhabits the human mind, of what we are truly capable of without our soul. It is one of those books that absolutely must be read. It has given me a greater understanding of life and it is a story I will always remember.

      This is a book I have heard of a lot over the years but have not read until now. It really shows the attitudes of the upper classes of these times, that the hedonistic way of life was by far the best way of life, or in fact the only way of life.Although the story is about a picure of Dorian Gray that is put away in a locked room which ages and degenerates with every act of thoughtless fun that the real Dorian Gray commits, I think it says more of the psychology of the human being.Dorian has made a pact if you like, with the devil, to stay young and goodlooking for ever, but he can never really get away from the disgraceful life he is living, however much he tells himself he can, and he comes ultimately to a sticky end.It is a great insight into the period and what really is built into us all, a conscience!

      The picture of Dorian Gray is talk about a preson is very overconfident because of a picture.the preson's name is Dorian Gray,and his friend draw a picture for him,and young DG found this picture for the first time,he resented portrait wishing it grow old and ugly instead of him,but it becames truth and in the end he killed many people who found his secreat ,so he dead because of his picture. Wilde wrote this book for satirize the dark of that time and the corruption of human natural,he described it fully.It told us everything is not prefect and we should treat everything as normal.
