What to expect
Basil Hallward, an artist, meets Dorian Gray and paints his portrait. The artist is so infatuated with Dorian’s beauty that he begins to believe it is the reason for his quality of art. Dorian becomes convinced that beauty is all-important and wishes his portrait could age instead of him. But each time Dorian commits a sin, his portrait ages, eventually showing him what is happening to his soul.
Critics Review
-
“[An] enduringly popular work. It is still widely read.”
The Guardian (London) -
“A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception.”
Amazon.com -
“The Picture of Dorian Gray categorically changed Victorian Britain and the landscape of literature.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“This remarkable rendering perfectly captures the spirit and characters…Just as the portrait mirrors the ravages of Gray’s soul, Petherbridge’s narration exudes decadence, hedonism, and destruction—every syllable foreshadowing the protagonist’s dismal end. The narrator’s storytelling and narrative skill are exemplary.”
