The Picture of Dorian Gray

Autêntica Editora
  • Año de edición 2019
COP $ 27.900

Oscar Wilde's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 and is a masterpiece of literature that deserves its place among the greatest classics in history. Dorian is a man who delights in the hedonistic worldview of aristocrat Henry Wotton, who considers beauty and sexual satisfaction to be the only things that matter in life. He wants to sell his soul so that only an oil-painted portrait of him will age and disappear, and he will keep his youth forever. Like Faust, Dorian has his wish granted and lives a libertine and amoral life. Aesthetic obsession and the life of appearances are central themes of The Portrait of Dorian Gray, an unparalleled narrative about moral decay in exchange for worldly pleasures.

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.
