The picture of Dorian Gray

author: Wilde, Oscar, Wilde
In Victorian England, young aristocrat Dorian Gray meets Sir Harry Wotton and is introduced to London's society circuit and a decadent world of self-indulgience. Dorian sinks further into a cruel, hedonistic existence as Sir Harry's unscrupulous influence over him grows. While Dorian's appearance remains youthful, he discovers that his portrait ages and takes on hideous features reflecting his sinful ways. Ultimately, Dorian realizes that he has lost possession of his soul.
