It is bursting with his trademark wit, his love of art, and his embrace of life and all it has to offer. Dorian, fearful of age and the subsequent fading of his beauty, expresses a wish: that a glorious oil portrait of him suffers the burden of age, and not him. He would sell his soul for it. Unfortunately for him, the wish is granted. Through Dorian, Oscar Wilde weaves an unforgettable tale about the punishment of excess and misplaced desire. Told in an exquisite blend of the Gothic and the philosophical, this fable about our obsession with the aesthetic unravels a horrifying truth: it is not if, but when and where our sins will manifest.
