Dorian Grayn muotokuva
by Oscar Wilde
Translated by Helmi Krohn
"Dorian Grayn muotokuva" by Oscar Wilde is a philosophical fiction and Gothic horror novel published in 1890. When a beautiful young man encounters a seductive aristocrat preaching hedonism, he makes a fateful wish: that his portrait, rather than himself, would age. His desire granted, Dorian pursues a life of immoral pleasure while remaining eternally youthful. But the portrait transforms in disturbing ways, visually recording every sin. Wilde explores beauty, morality, and the corrupting nature of influence in this controversial classic.
