Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind UR - http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=202468&titleID=1904686 UR - https://samples.overdrive.com/picture-of-dorian-3ae5c5?.epub-sample.overdrive.com UR - https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/3082-1/%7B3AE5C555-FC8E-40E0-AAAD-E585F50AC21A%7DImg100.jpg UR - https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/3082-1/%7B3AE5C555-FC8E-40E0-AAAD-E585F50AC21A%7DImg200.jpg ER -
