The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde - Bog

"You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."
Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. The supernatural tale of a man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work.
Arguably literature's greatest study of shallowness, vanity, casual cruelty and hedonistic selfishness, Wilde lays it down here with ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! This was my first experience in reading Oscar Wilde and the man's gift for prose and dialogue is magical. This story read somewhat like a dark, corrupted Jane Austen in that the writing was snappy and pleasant on the ear, but the feeling it left you with was one of hopelessness and despair.
