The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray

USD $ 5,80

The studio was filled with the rich odor of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn. From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as usual, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-colored blossoms of the laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flame-like as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid jade-faced painters who, in an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.

Oscar Wilde

Autor

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (Dublín, Irlanda, entonces perteneciente al Reino Unido, 16 de octubre de 1854-París, Francia, 30 de noviembre de 1900) fue un escritor, poeta y dramaturgo de origen irlandés. Wilde es considerado uno de los dramaturgos más destacados del Londres victoriano tardío; además, fue una celebridad de la época debido a su gran y aguzado ingenio. Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus obras de teatro y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su temprana muerte. En la década de 1890 refinó sus ideas sobre la supremacía del arte en una serie de diálogos y ensayos, e incorporó temas de decadencia, duplicidad y belleza en su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray. La oportunidad para desarrollar con precisión detalles estéticos y combinarlos con temas sociales le indujo a escribir teatro.
