Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read 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 Gray offers a disturbing portrait of an individual coming face to face with the reality of his soul. Shocking in its suggestion of unspeakable sin, this novel was later used as evidence against Wilde when he was tried for indecency in 1895.

He states firmly in the preface that art is about beauty, not meaning. He repeats this assertion often in the novel itself. The briefest look at his biography confirms that he held this view. To paraphrase another thought he expresses several times in the novel itself, I don’t think he really believes this. I certainly do not.This wasn’t quite the parable of decadence that I anticipated; nor was it simply a sordid celebration of youth, beauty, and pleasure. The story was richer and more complex than any of that. The title character proved more thoughtful and vulnerable than I expected, and one other primary character astonished me. I enjoyed the sharp, cynical, sarcastic dialog poking fun at the ways in which people are often shallow and predictable. The ending was deeply troubling – and that’s a compliment. I relished Wilde’s deep insights into the human condition, even (perhaps especially) where I see the world differently. In short, while nobody will confuse “Dorian Gray” with “Pollyana”, it was for me an immensely satisfying read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classical Masterpiece of Beauty, Corruption, and Moral Decay *by on Reviewed in the United States June 3, 2026* Wilde’s novel is unquestionably a literary masterpiece , with Dorian himself standing as one of literature’s great classical villains: beautiful, seductive, selfish, and monstrous. The prose is brilliant, sharp, and unforgettable, but the novel can be a difficult read for modern audiences because of its misogyny, homophobia, and overall cruelty with a deep fascination with evil and moral corruption. I admire the book’s artistry and importance, even as I found parts of it disturbing and unpleasant. A four star classic: extraordinary, but not easily loved. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fascinating & Riveting Read *by on Reviewed in the United States March 30, 2026* This book really goes into the fascinating psychology of a man as his soul degrades, though he continues to hold up an innocent appearance, and how the portrait of him shows him his true colors. Even at one point, when he attempts to perform a more righteous act, his portrait continues to shrivel up. It haunts him to the point that he cannot stand it anymore and all the dark things he has done in his life, and tears at it with a knife, and in truth, kills himself in the process. A truly thought-provoking page-turner that will not disappoint, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Picture of Dorian Gray - The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics) - Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/38809442-the-picture-of-dorian-gray](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/38809442-the-picture-of-dorian-gray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
