The Picture of Dorian Gray, Hardback Book

The Picture of Dorian Gray Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

A perfect depiction of fin-de-siècle decadence, Oscar Wilde's only novel cuts beneath the polished surface to the murky depths of Victorian high society. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

Featuring an afterword by the playwright and actor Peter Harness. Dorian Gray is young, arrogant, and devastatingly handsome.

Confronted by his beauty in the form of a portrait, and struck by the terrible realization that he will age, Dorian wishes to retain his charms forever and finds his desire granted.

He abandons himself to a life of hedonism, vice and murder, yet his face remains unmarked by his evil.

But, hidden in his attic, the painting ages and corrupts, and one day Dorian must stand face to face with the man he has become.
