Dorian Gray: Annotated & Illustrated

Oscar Wilde’s only novel follows the dazzling Dorian Gray, whose portrait bears the marks of age and corruption while he remains outwardly young. Brilliant, unsettling, and rich in paradox, the story explores beauty, influence, conscience, art, and the price of a life devoted to appearances.
