The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a captivating tale of beauty, moral corruption, and the pursuit of eternal youth. This classic novel follows the story of Dorian Gray, a young man whose life takes a dark turn when he becomes the subject of a portrait painted by the talented artist Basil Hallward. Enchanted by his own beauty, Dorian wishes that he could remain forever young while the portrait ages in his place.
