Author:
Oscar Wilde
Plot:
"Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of the polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence" taken from Penguin Classics.
Review:
Definitely intriguing, as this was the only novel by Oscar Wilde. In addition, this novel was used as evidence against Oscar Wilde at his trial. That aside, an interesting read as one studies the character development, the influence of Lord Henry and the hidden meanings. I would not think of it as an easy read.
