The Picture of Dorian Gray

«The Picture of Dorian Gray» — the only novel by Oscar Wilde and an absolute masterpiece of world literature. The story of a beautiful young man who traded his soul for eternal youth remains relevant. For a century, this text has captivated readers with the closeness of vice and virtue, beauty and ugliness, art and life.
In this edition, the novel is presented in a new translation by the outstanding master Leonid Motylev. The translator has years of experience working with Wilde's legacy, translating his letters and fundamental biography. The new translation is faithful to the style, bold imagery, rhythm, and sound of Wilde's prose — prose that is elegant yet dynamic, pulsating, sharp, contrasting, intelligent, aphoristic, and devoid of ceremonious grandiloquence.
