The Picture of Dorian Gray

For centuries, humanity has sought the key to the mystery of eternal youth and beauty. But what will happen if one gains them by accident? A phrase that slips from the lips forever changes the life of young English dandy Dorian Gray: neither time nor his own actions have power over his appearance — instead, the portrait changes. How will he manage this gift of fate? And was this gift worth a soul? The Picture of Dorian Gray — a witty and dark novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde — is now available for those who are just learning English. The text of the novel is shortened and adapted for upper-intermediate level 4 learners, accompanied by commentary and a dictionary.
