The Picture of Dorian Gray

This shocking novel by Oscar Wilde, published in 1890, looks at the dark sides of modern man. When the portrait of Dorian Gray is painted, he is captivated by his own extraordinary beauty. Tired of experiencing the beauties of the world, and with the provocative provocations of her friend Lord Henry Wotton, who is gradually aging and collapsing, she begins to feel a great desire to always remain beautiful and young; He is made to believe that by keeping his soul young, his appearance will also remain young. The novel, which begins in the studio of Painter Basil Hallward at the end of the nineteenth century, the end of an era, extends to the opium and drug dens in the easternmost part of London. The painter, too, was frightened by the portrait he painted, and a strange shyness gripped his soul: While the painter looked at the elegant and handsome figure he reflected in his art, a smile of pleasure spread across his face and it was as if he wanted to linger there for a while. However, he suddenly stood up with a start, closed his eyes and pressed his fingertips on his eyelids, as if he wanted to lock in his brain a strange dream that he was afraid of waking up and losing.
