The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine.Wilde later revised this edition, making several alterations, and adding new chapters; the amended version was published by Ward, Lock, and Company in April 1891.The title is sometimes rendered incorrectly as The Portrait of Dorian Gray.
The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging.

外表就是一切。我并不是外协,但言语表情,行为衣品却最能反映一个人的生活层次,态度和教养。电影和书都看了,后看的电影,其视觉冲击力给本书加分了。
评分Once started, there's no turning back.
评分There were passions in him that would find their terrible outlet, dreams that would make the shadow of their evil real.
评分极端的唯美主义的最终结局就是美的毁灭。也是,在这个不完美的世界上,能既保持青春,又不出卖灵魂吗?
评分There were passions in him that would find their terrible outlet, dreams that would make the shadow of their evil real.
