CLÁSICOS INOLVIDABLES PARA DISFRUTAR, COMPARTIR Y DEJAR VOLAR LA IMAGINACIÓN

Dorian Gray es un apuesto joven que, tras contemplar su retrato, queda tan cautivado por su belleza que venderá su alma a cambio de verse siempre joven. Pero, aunque su imagen no refleje su deterioro espiritual, el cuadro que mantiene oculto sí lo hará.

Una edición ilustrada de uno de los clásicos más cautivadores

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A young man, named Dorian Gray, becomes obsessed with his own beauty and the portrait of himself painted by artist, Basil Hallward. Dorian wishes that the painting would age instead of him so that he can continue to see his younger self. Dorian begins to experiment with different hedonistic activities and desires, which unleash a series of rotting effects on the painting and expose his true evil nature. Dorian is then haunted by the consequences of his immoral actions and must decide if he will live with those consequences or die as a man.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor had requested that Wilde reduce the length. However, Wilde also published it as a complete novel. The content, presentation and style of The Picture of Dorian Gray made it one of the most controversial works at the time of its release. Today it is considered a literary classic and has been adapted numerous times into various media formats
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) fue un escritor, poeta y dramaturgo británico, famoso por su habitual ingenio y sarcasmo social. Es en Londres donde empieza a producir sus primeras obras de éxito, como su reconocida novela El retrato de Dorian Gray (1890) o, en teatro, El abanico de Lady Windermer (1892), Salomé (1894) -que fue censurada por retratar personajes bíblicos-, o La importancia de llamarse Ernesto (1895), divertida comedia que ha sido llevada al cine en diversas ocasiones. Entre los años 1887-1889 editó la revista femenina Woman's World.
