The handsome appearance of dissolute, young Dorian Gray remains unchanged while the features in his portrait become distorted as his degeneration progresses.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. This book was used as evidence against Wilde at his trial at the Old Bailey in 1895.
