The Picture of Dorian Gray

"When people read The Picture of Dorian Gray, they see their own sins. However, in the book, no one knows what Dorian Gray's sin is. Only those who commit the sin realize this sin."
-James Joyce-

"No artist has done more for the middle class than Oscar Wilde."
-GK Chesterton-

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only novel and best-known work, reveals the story of a man who impresses everyone with his beauty but is corrupt, full of evil, deception and scandals.

Dorian's wish for his portrait to age instead of him changes his life when his wish comes true. As the weight of this secret increases day by day, Dorian's cruelty and immorality increase equally.

This sensational novel, which has caused many debates since the moment it was written and in which Wilde self-censored, is a masterpiece that combines human evil with aesthetics, examines the roots of art, and gives Wilde the value he deserves as an artist. However, as Oscar Wilde said, "The artist is the creator of beautiful things... All art is quite futile."

İthaki Publications presents this work to the readers with the foreword of the author GK Chesterton and the afterword of the academician James Gifford.
