The Portrait of Dorian Gray is the only novel by the famous playwright Oscar Wilde and at the time it caused a lot of uproar due to the homosexual undertones present in the novel. Oscar Wilde was a famous homosexual at a time when homosexuality was a prosecutable crime and Widle ended up being tried and sentenced for what he wrote in the book.

I first read this book when I was a teenager, recommended to me by my father. We shared pretty much the same taste in books and this suggestion made me discover Oscar Wilde as a writer.       By the time it was written this book, fiction was just in diapers, so to speak, yet the idea proposed here of a painting reflecting the model’s inner transformation is quite nice and interesting.

Witty, inventive, true to life. A real look into the human condition

This book has always reminded me of the myth of Narcissus. Too lost in his beauty, too eager to preserve it, young Dorian Gray makes a bargain, and as all men who has made bargains, pays the price.
