The Picture Of Dorian Gray – Audiobook Online By: Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel by Oscar Wilde that was first published in 1890. It is the story of a young, handsome man named Dorian Gray who becomes corrupted by his own vanity and the influence of a hedonistic friend, Lord Henry Wotton.
Dorian makes a deal with Faustian to keep his youth and beauty forever, while a portrait of him grows old in his place. The novel explores themes of morality, decadence, and the ill effects of beauty and wealth. It is notable for its depiction of homosexuality, which was considered scandalous at the time of publication. The novel has been adapted into numerous film and stage productions, and is considered a classic of English literature.
I have heard about this book several times over the years, I finally decided to read it for myself. It’s brilliantly written, with a slow plot twist and a dramatic, abrupt ending that captured my soul. Lord Henry’s endless speeches were tedious, so I often skipped them. Wilde’s depictions of things, such as Dorian’s garden or collectibles, are superbly constructed. Overall, this book is definitely worth a read and gives you some thoughts on the ethics, beauty, and consequences of choices.
I decided that the best thing to remember for my father was to order an oil painting of his portrait. It is a wonderful picture of him riding a magical horse and blooming the land with his grace. I was thinking of giving him this book to match the sentiment. Luckily, I read the book and it made me reevaluate my life. I am also old, but still attractive to all genders. I haven’t committed murder so I don’t have a life lesson. Oh, but my dad really liked his picture. Even if he doesn’t admit it out loud.
