Produktinformationen zu „The Picture of Dorian Gray (ePub)“
In the Longsellers collection, you will find the most read and loved books of all time.
Published in 1890, The Picture of Dorian Gray, became a classic whenever we talk about about the superficial nature of social relationships and escapism through beauty and art.
The story is about Dorian Gray, a young man of high society, who makes a dark pact to have eternal youth while the painting with his portrait ages. Over time, his life of immoralities and abuses turns the picture into a monster. Wilde's only novel, it was subject to much controversy and criticism in its time but has come to be recognized as a classic of gothic literature.
Oscar Wilde was famous in the 1890s for his very popular plays. Wilde, who was homosexual, would also become known for being prosecuted for "indecent behavior," a charge for which he was convicted and imprisoned between the years 1895 and 1897.
This book also contains the essays Art And Morality, by Stuart Mason, and Biographical Summary, by Arthur Ransome. With this extra content the reader will find a greater understanding of the personal life, the historical context, and the polemics of this great author.
We hope you'll love this book as much we do, and don't forget to check the rest of the collection for more beloved classics.
Autoren-Porträt von Oscar Wilde, August Nemo
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the first celebrity trials", imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at age 46.
