Dans cette œuvre brève et fulgurante d’Oscar Wilde, un désir interdit se mue en obsession, et les mots étincellent comme des lames. Portée par une langue somptueuse et sensuelle, la tension se resserre au rythme d’une fascination grandissante, où la beauté se heurte à la loi, où le regard devient pouvoir et la séduction, menace.

Nel Fantasma di Canterville (1887) Wilde mescola ironia e orrore, patetico e sublime, in una storia originalissima che testimonia lo sconcertante impatto tra il razionalismo del Nuovo Mondo e il pathos romantico dei castelli inglesi. La sfinge senza enigmi (1894) e Il milionario modello (1887) sono due straordinari esempi dello stile brillante e mondano delle sue commedie, idolatrate dalla società vittoriana, mentre Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile (1891) è la dimostrazione di come si possano coniugare verosimile e irrazionale in una storia di estrema piacevolezza.

Step into a world where beauty conceals corruption and every whispered secret sends ripples through the surface of polite society. Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray stands as one of literature's most brilliant and haunting meditations on vanity, morality, and the eternal struggle between outward appearance and inner reality.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray 's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray ." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment.
