The Picture of Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde
English • Published 1890 • Public Domain • Free to stream
Oscar Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a dazzling and disturbing masterpiece. Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man in Victorian London, makes a Faustian bargain: his portrait will age and bear the marks of his sins while he remains forever young and handsome. Under the corrupting influence of the witty Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian plunges into a life of excess and cruelty — while the portrait in the locked room grows ever more hideous. Sharp, seductive and deeply unsettling, it is one of the great gothic novels in the English language.
