The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine.Wilde later revised this edition, making several alterations, and adding new chapters; the amended version was published by Ward, Lock, and Company in April 1891.The title is sometimes rendered incorrectly as The Portrait of Dorian Gray.
The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging.

There is no doubt that Wilde is a genius of his time. However, sometimes one feels he writes only because he wants to, putting all the flamboyant words and phrases that he can think of in one book. His attitude towards women is also a drawback, He thinks women as the lowest of the lowest, stupid, vain, short-sighted.
評分Wilde said,“Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry is what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps.”Book of epigrams and metaphors. Fantastic.
評分外錶就是一切。我並不是外協,但言語錶情,行為衣品卻最能反映一個人的生活層次,態度和教養。電影和書都看瞭,後看的電影,其視覺衝擊力給本書加分瞭。
評分我覺得把這本書當做小說來看 可讀性不高
評分what has been done is considered done; trying to alter the past is nothing but pure suicide.
