The Picture of Dorian Graywas a succ�s de scandale. Early readers were shocked by its hints at unspeakable sins and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray makes a Faustian bargain to sell his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, where he is able to indulge his desires while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only Dorian's picture bears the traces of his decadence. A knowing account of a secret life and an analysis of the darker side of late Victorian society. The Picture of Dorian Grayoffers a disturbing portrait of an individual coming face to face with the reality of his soul.

Das Bildnis von Dorian Gray ist ein faszinierender Ausflug in die abgrundtiefe Arroganz eines Menschen. Wilde schreibt über ihn mit einer schneidenden Schärfe und Ironie, die unter die Haut geht. Das Buch ist nicht nur ein moralisches Märchen, sondern auch ein Kommentar auf Schönheit, Verfall und Eitelkeit. Auf jeder Seite findet man ein Zitat. Und am Ende fragt man sich: Wie viel Dorian steckt eigentlich in uns allen? Und wer ist unser Teufel in menschlicher Gestalt, der nur das schlimmste aus uns zu holen scheint?
