The novel of Dorian Gray, who fell under the spell of his own portrait and gave up his soul for the sake of eternal youth and beauty...
Although it is Wilde's only novel, it is a novel that I think will absorb you with its subject and aphorisms and should definitely be read.
If you ask me, the book stands out especially with its solid characters and subject matter. In one of his letters, Oscar Wilde describes the characters of the novel as follows: "Basil Hallword is who I think I am;
Lord Henry is what the world thinks he is;
Dorian Gray is who I want to be, maybe in another age...
Additionally, the novel sentences Oscar Wilde to two years in prison due to his sexual orientation, as a result of the strict morality of the period. But I think this quote in the book reveals everything: "The books that people describe as immoral are the books that make people confront their own immorality. That's all."
I think it should definitely be read. I wish those who will read it a pleasant reading.
May the mirror of your soul always make you smile...
