The Picture of Dorian Gray

Every art is a mirror. Look into “The Picture of Dorian Gray” yourself. What will you find in it? A story of fall from grace? Reflections on the price of eternal youth? A collection of elegant social witticisms? The answer... depends on you. One thing is certain: if you value good style, Oscar Wilde has it in abundance. This edition provides the original text with a parallel translation by Mikhail Likiardopulo, a journalist, spy, and polyglot, as well as a keen admirer of Oscar Wilde's work. His translation of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” beautifully conveys the language of the original and is rightly considered one of the best. The text is accompanied by engravings by Louis Truong and Fernand Simeon. The frontispiece is an engraving by Henry Keen. The parallel text of the book makes it especially useful for studying English. The silk ribbon, convenient format, and beautiful cover add elegance and appeal to the book. It can be purchased not only for your collection but also as a gift for dear and close people.
