The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (top ebook reader TXT) ๐
Excerpt from the book:
Description
The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published as a serial in Lippencottโs Monthly Magazine, and the publishers thought it would so offend readers that they removed nearly 500 words without Wildeโs approval. Wilde soon expanded it and republished it as a novel, including a short preface justifying his art. Even though his contemporaries considered it so offensive that some argued for his prosecution, Dorian Gray today survives as a classic philosophical novel that explores themes of aestheticism and double lives. Couched in Wildeโs trademark cutting wit, Dorian Gray is still being adapted today, with Dorian and his moldering portrait remaining cultural touchstones.
