The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel about a handsome young man named Dorian Gray who wishes that his portrait would age instead of him. His wish mysteriously comes true, and while he remains young and attractive, the portrait grows older and uglier as he commits sinful and immoral acts. The story explores themes of beauty, vanity, temptation, and the consequences of a corrupt life. It also shows how the pursuit of pleasure without responsibility can destroy a person’s soul and character.

Oscar Wilde

OSCAR WILDE (1854–1900) was an Irish writer and poet. He wrote in different forms throughout the 1880s, and became one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Wilde became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian London after producing four comedies—Lady Windermere’s Fan, a Woman of No Importance, an Ideal Husband and the Importance of Being Earnest. First performed in 1895 in collaboration with George Alexander at St. James’s Theater, London, the Importance of Being Earnest was considered Wilde’s masterpiece and continues to remain his most popular play. the Ballad of Reading Gaol, published in 1898, was his last work. Wilde died in 1900 at the age of 46, in Paris.
