Le portrait de Dorian Gray

This is a Boundary Bay Classics edition of Le portrait de Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890 and revised in 1891, here in Albert Savine's French translation. The beautiful young Dorian Gray wishes that his portrait would age in his place, and his wish is granted: he pursues a life of pleasure and moral decline while the hidden canvas alone bears the marks of his corruption. A landmark of Gothic and philosophical fiction, the novel remains one of the most widely read works in English literature.
