"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde is a philosophical fiction and Gothic horror novel published in 1890. When a beautiful young man named Dorian Gray sees his portrait, he rashly wishes that the painting would age instead of himself.

Meanwhile, the portrait mysteriously ages and reveals the true cost of his sins. This
provocative tale explores beauty, morality, and the consequences of living without ethical boundaries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
