This is a first limited edition hardback (limited to 300 copies only). The title was originally published by Ward Lock in 1891.
Beautiful boards. Introduction by R B Russell. UNREAD.
SYNOPSIS: “This new edition is the perfect excuse to rediscover a masterpiece of Gothic Decadence, written with the author’s characteristic razor-sharp wit. It presents Wilde’s singular blend of elegance and menace with renewed clarity, reinstating text that the author and his editors removed from various drafts, for fear of offending contemporary readers.
First-time readers, and long-time admirers, now have the best possible opportunity to engage with the novel’s enduring questions about beauty, influence, and the price of living without a conscience.
Dorian Gray’s extraordinary beauty captivates all who meet him, including the charismatic Lord Henry Wotton, who awakens in him a fascination for pleasure and self-indulgence. Dorian makes a fateful wish that he might remain forever young while his portrait bears the evidence of age and corruption. As his life plunges into a world of excess and transgression, the hidden painting becomes a terrible mirror to his soul.”
