The Picture of Dorian Gray

Original title: Le portrait de Dorian Gray (French)

by Oscar Wilde (translated by Albert Savine)

Summary

The Picture of Dorian Gray is an 1890 philosophical fiction and Gothic horror novel by Irish author Oscar Wilde. A shorter novella-length version was published in the July 1890 issue of the American periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, while the novel-length version was published in April 1891. As the only novel written by Wilde, it is widely regarded as a classic of both Gothic and English literature, having been adapted many times for films, stage, plays, and other forms of art performances. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
