The Picture of Dorian Gray
With an Introduction and Notes by John M.L. Drew, University of Buckingham.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Spellbound before his own portrait, Dorian Gray utters a fateful wish. In exchange for eternal youth he gives his soul, to be corrupted by the malign influence of his mentor, the aesthete and hedonist Lord Henry Wotton.
The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray
“Now, for the first time, we can read the version that Wilde intended...Both the text and Nicholas Frankel’s introduction make for fascinating reading.” —Paris Review More than 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in a paperback edition. This volume restores all of the material removed by the novel’s first editor. Upon receipt of the typescript, Wilde’s editor panicked at what he saw. Contained within its pages was material he feared readers would find “offensive”—especially instances of graphic homosexual content. He proceeded ...
Dorian

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life; indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. The novel was a succès de scandale and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Set in fin-de-siecle London, this novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. Combining elements of the supernatural, aestheticism, and the Gothic, this is a work of fiction.
Dorian Grey'in Portresi
Bir yandan korkun bir yandan umudun varsa iki kanatlı olursun, tek kanatla uçulmaz zaten. Mevlânâ Oscar Wilde'ın "Okuyan herkes baş karakterde kendi günahını görecek," dediği tek romanı Dorian Gray'in Portresi edebiyatın kuşkusuz en büyük klasik eserlerinden biri... Fakat Dorian Gray'in Portresi'ni bu kadar büyük ve zamansız kılan, ahlaka, yargılara, güzelliğe, sanata, gençliğe, toplumsal normlara ve korkularımıza dair söyledikleri... Ressam Basil Hallward'ın güzelliğiyle büyüleyen genç Dorian Gray'in portresini yapması ve bu portrenin genç adamın hayatını ele geçirişini anlatan "zamansız" bir başyapıt. "... Gençliğiniz sürerken tadını çıkarın. Can sıkıcı şeyleri dinleyerek, umutsuz başarısızlıkları gidermeye çalışarak ya da hayatınızı cahiller, sıradanlar, bayağılar için tüketerek altın günlerinizi boşa harcamayın; bunlar çağımızın sağlıksız hedefleri, sahte idealleri. Yaşayın! İçinizdeki harika hayatı yaşayın! Hiçbir şeyi ziyan etmeyin. Hep yeni heyecanlar arayın. Hiçbir şeyden korkmayın...".

This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray A man sells his soul for eternal youth and scandalizes the city in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.
