When a beautiful young man wishes that his portrait would age instead of himself, his desire comes horrifyingly true. As Dorian pursues a life of hedonistic pleasure and immoral experiences, he remains youthful while his portrait darkens with every sin. Wilde explores themes of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of unchecked desire in this classic work that sparked controversy upon release but remains his most famous novel.
