The Picture of Dorian Grey

Filled with hedonism and with a wonderful supernatural twist, The Picture Of Dorian Gray is one of the reasons Oscar Wilde has such a legendary reputation.
Despite the supernatural twist and hedonist perspective, there is just as much wit in this book as in the less Gothic stories and plays.
There are elements of Wilde present in the key characters, and Wilde himself said: “Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry, what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be — in other ages, perhaps”.
