The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Dorian Gray, an extraordinarily beautiful youth, looks at his newly-painted portrait and despairs at the thought of how time will alter his looks. If only he could be beautiful forever - yes, he would give his soul for that! Under the influence of the decadent Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian begins to lead a life of hedonistic depravity. Strangely, none of his excesses touch his face or figure. But the painting tells a different story. A fascinating study of the corruption of a soul.'it must be said that it is the more attractive of the two and seems to capture the spirit of Wilde better'
