The Picture of Dorian Gray

Resume du livre

<p>Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian
Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his
friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life,
indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes
of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. <em>The Picture of Dorian Gray</em> was a <em>succès de scandale</em>.
Early readers were shocked by its hints at unspeakable sins, and the
book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895.</p>
