"Comme c'est triste, murmurait Dorian, les yeux fixés sur son portrait. Oh ! Oui, profondément triste !... Je vais devenir vieux, horrible, affreux !... Mais ce portrait restera toujours jeune. Il gardera l'âge de cette journée de juin... Ah ! Si cela pouvait changer ! Si c'était moi qui pouvais rester jeune, et cette peinture vieillir !... Pour cela, je donnerais tout... Il n'y a rien au monde que je ne donnerais... Mon âme, même !..."

Pubblicati nel 1888, il Principe felice, Il gigante egoista e L'usignolo e la rosa sembrano favole per bambini, ma contengono invece un messaggio per tutti gli uomini, per il loro ottuso atteggiamento di fronte agli intramontabili valori dell'arte e della vita. Sono novelle ricche di un delicato lirismo, nelle quali lo straordinario talento creativo di Wilde profonde visioni di grazia e di bellezza incomparabili.

Les mésaventures cocasses d'un épouvantable fantôme anglais se retrouvant persécuté par une famille d'américains sceptiques devenue propriétaire du château qu'il hante depuis trois siècles. Oscar Wilde s'amuse, pour notre plus grand plaisir, du fossé culturel entre le conformisme anglais et le réalisme américain. Un conte raffiné et merveilleux flirtant avec la parodie du genre.

If only I could remain young while the picture grows old. For that I’d give anything.... When Dorian Gray, a handsome young man about town, makes this wish, he can hardly guess that it will mark the beginning of a life of hedonism and debauchery. Soon enough his webs of deception and deceit catch innocent victims, some of them his closest friends, and the only evidence of his misdeeds is a long-forgotten portrait in his attic.

Sie zählen zu den schönsten Märchen der Weltliteratur, jene Erzählungen, die der irische Schriftsteller Oscar Wilde für seine eigenen Kinder schrieb und 1888 veröffentlichte. "Der glückliche Prinz" etwa erzählt von einer Statue, die hoch über der Stadt steht. Gerührt vom Elend der Menschen bittet der Prinz eine Schwalbe, das Gold und die Edelsteine, mit denen er geschmückt ist, zu den Armen in die Stadt zu bringen. Doch schmucklos und unansehnlich geworden bleibt ihm selbst nur noch die Schwalbe als Freund.

Dorian Gray has a portrait in oil done by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry and soon falls into his hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only things worth pursuing in life.

La ironía, la honda melancolía y la inconfundible mirada desencantada de Oscar Wilde impregnan cada una de estas páginas, erigiéndose como un monumento paródico y duramente crítico hacia la sociedad victoriana de finales del siglo XIX. Todo ello esbozado con un estilo único, patente desde las sátiras de «El crimen de lord Arthur Savile» y «El fantasma de Canterville» hasta los cuentos de hadas como «El Príncipe Feliz», «El ruiseñor y la rosa» y «El gigante egoísta».

Basil Hallward había terminado el retrato. El joven Dorian, al verlo, no pudo más que desear, desde su frívola inocencia, que fuera su imagen la que envejeciera y se corrompiera con el paso de los años mientras él permanecía intacto. Y así fue: a partir de entonces, Dorian Gray conservó no solo la lozanía y la hermosura propias de la juventud, sino el aspecto puro de los inocentes. Pero ¿a qué precio? El retrato de Dorian Gray es un logro insoslayable de la literatura universal, vertido aquí magníficamente por el escritor y traductor Alejandro Palomas.

 Over 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in audio. This volume restores material, including instances of graphic homosexual content, removed by the novel's first editor, who feared it would be "offensive" to Victorians. 

Oscar Wilde brings his enormous gifts for astute social observation and sparkling prose to The Picture of Dorian Gray, the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. This dandy, who remains forever unchanged---petulant, hedonistic, vain, and amoral---while a painting of him ages and grows increasingly hideous with the years, has been horrifying and enchanting readers for more than 100 years.

"Le Portrait de Dorian Gray" a été rédigé en 1890, puis complété en 1891. Ce roman fantastique est à la fois un manifeste esthétique et un récit moral. Bien qu'Oscar Wilde y développe l'idée d'un art dégagé de toute éthique, le jeune Dorian Gray va faire face à sa conscience morale à travers son portrait qui porte à sa place les traces de sa perversité et la décadence que le temps inflige aux esprits les plus purs.

Oscar Wilde's only novel is half gothic horror, half morality tale, and is as timeless as his plays and poems. First published in 1889, this unabridged audiobook edition narrated by Jake Urry captures the wit, the charm, and the horror of Wilde's most controversial work. Perhaps the most well-known outing for Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles has all the ingredients of the coziest of mysteries. Jake Urry brings this head-scratching tale to life in this unabridged telling of a timeless classic.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Pochi classici sanno essere attuali e coinvolgenti quanto "Il ritratto di Dorian Gray". Il celebre romanzo, opera di Oscar Wilde, narra le vicissitudini di Dorian, dandy e frequentatore dei migliori salotti di Londra, e dell'irrefrenabile culto della bellezza che lo porterà a stringere un patto diabolico... Ritratto della nostra epoca devota al culto dell'immagine, Dorian Gray riesce ad affascinare a distanza di secoli, influenzando generazioni di lettori, il teatro e la cinematografia. "Non esistono libri morali o immorali. I libri sono scritti bene o scritti male. Questo è tutto."

Dorian Gray, giovane e bellissimo dandy della società londinese del diciannovesimo secolo, plagiato e iniziato dall'amico esteta Lord Henry, esprime, contemplando un proprio ritratto, il desiderio di poter rimanere sempre giovane e bello. Per un terribile sortilegio è il dipinto a portare i segni dell'età che avanza e della decadenza umana e morale ...

One of the great literary classics of Western literature and the only published novel written by Oscar Wilde. The Picture of Dorian Gray created great controversy on publication because of its homosexual undertones, and was later used as evidence against him at his trial at the Old Bailey in 1895. "If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old...I would give my soul for that!" The wish uttered by Dorian Gray as he gazes on his portrait forms the basis of this story.
