“The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.” Meet Dorian Gray, the beautiful young man with an impossibly charming face and spirit. As he sits for Basil Hallward—a deeply moral artist and a friend of the impish Lord Henry—who becomes obsessed with his beauty and wants to paint him, Dorian is enchanted by the perfection of his portrait. But, influenced by the well-phrased epigrams of the hedonist Lord Henry on the transience of youth and beauty, Dorian becomes jealous of it and wishes that the portrait bear the scars of his passing youth and age, while he would remain young forever. And alas, his wish comes true! Enticed into dissolution and degradation while his portrait is aging in the attic, Dorian engages in scandals and sinful pleasures. We see him go from good to evil. But is he any happier? This is a hardbound deluxe edition of the only novel written by Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an arresting moral commentary and a classic example of Gothic fiction. With an unparalleled depiction of the Faustian bargain, this parable of aesthetic ideal remains a literary masterpiece almost 125 years after its publication.

...Was my first Fingerprints book
I remember this was the first book I bought by fingerprints publishing and I was absolutely blown away! Nowadays I've moved onto less prominent and more costlier publishers (Everyman's Library my sweetheart). But I'll recommend Fingerprints for anyone who is searching for peak quality from Rs. 300 to 1k price range. The cover itself is great, and the printing inside is a bit cheaper feeling but it's still good nonetheless. The content of course is peak, only expected of Wilde!

Book Review
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a haunting exploration of vanity, morality, and the consequences of living without restraint. Watching Dorian slowly surrender his conscience in exchange for eternal youth is both fascinating and deeply unsettling. Wilde’s sharp wit and philosophical undertones elevate the story beyond a simple cautionary tale, making it feel disturbingly relevant even today. A dark, thought-provoking classic that lingers long after the final page.

Good choice
Such a beautiful book, I’ve been watching a handful of shows recently and they all have Dorian gray references or him playing a part so I was curious who he was. The book is gorgeous, from the cover to the pages. I’m only 4 chapters in, but so far it is a great read!
