'It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances' Lord Wotton
The young, naive, and astonishingly beautiful Dorian Gray meets the cynical and hedonistic Lord Wotton, with whom he begins to explore the more pleasurable, less ethical sides of London. While he enjoys a life of sin and excess, his innocent beauty remains untainted, almost as if he'd made a devil's bargain to keep it.
Wilde's only novel was considered indecent and corruptive when it was published in 1891 - in particular because of its implied homoeroticism. Today it is renowned one of the most famous Gothic novels, a timeless classic and an inspiration for countless other books and movie adaptations. A special edition hardcover embossed with silver foil.
