Picture of Dorian Gray, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What would you give for eternal youth and beauty? Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is a dazzling and disturbing exploration of vanity, desire, and the price of indulgence—his only novel, and one of the most provocative works of the Victorian era. Dorian Gray, a handsome young man, becomes the subject of a striking portrait. When he makes a fateful wish—that he might remain forever young while the painting bears the marks of age and sin—it comes true in ways more terrible than he could imagine. As he plunges into a life of luxury, temptation, and moral corruption, the portrait becomes a grotesque reflection of his soul’s decay. With his trademark wit and aphoristic brilliance, Wilde weaves a tale that is both seductive and unsettling, blending gothic horror with biting social satire. At its heart lies an unflinching look at the dangers of vanity, the seductions of pleasure, and the consequences of living without conscience. A timeless masterpiece, ***The Picture of Dorian Gray***continues to shock, fascinate, and inspire, reminding us that the pursuit of beauty and youth may come at the highest cost of all.
