The Picture of Dorian Gray: From the original 1890 text

The young, handsome Dorian Gray sits as subject for a portrait that is soon to become a metaphor for his degenerate lifestyle; for as fresh-faced Dorian spirals toward dissolution, it is the painting rather than the man that betrays the ravages of time. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is a morally ambivalent tale of vanity, decadence, and bloodshed that shocked Victorian Britain upon its publication in 1890. Subsequently toned down, it is presented here in its original incarnation. [Printed on traditional cream paper and set in comfortably legible print with wide, thumb-friendly margins.]
