Description

Oscar Wilde's surreal and haunting story of a beautiful young man who bargains his soul for eternal youth, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line.

When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter's stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his moral corruption.

This edition also includes four additional stories from Oscar Wilde's fairy tale collection, A House of Pomegranates.
