Portrait of Dorian Gray (deep purple). Wilde O.

One of the most famous novels of world literature, the publication of which in 1891 caused a scandal in English society. Criticism condemned him as an immoral work, but with ordinary readers the novel was enthusiastically accepted.

Dorian Gray, succumbing to the temptation, wanted eternal youth - and received it. But the young man, bewitched with his own beauty, did not yet know how much this youth would get this youth. He will break his hearts, push people into suicide, betray. Art will be more destructive than Dorian thought.

“Portrait of Dorian Gray” also received eternal youth: the book has been reprinting and reading, filming and making comics for more than centuries.
