Publisher's Synopsis
This beautiful jacketed hardback presents Oscar Wilde's classic novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, with brand-new, full-color illustrations by Eugenia Nobati.
This classic novel about the frailty of human beauty and sensual experience and the futility of vanity remains as powerful today as when it was first published in 1891. A truly extraordinary piece of work, The Picture of Dorian Gray has come to be regarded as the finest novel of the aesthetic and decadent movements. In this cautionary tale, the handsome Dorian Gray wishes that his portrait should age rather than himself, and then launches on a life of excess and depravity, with shocking consequences. Whether you're approaching The Picture of Dorian Gray for the first time, or want to experience it afresh with new illustrations, this unabridged collectible edition is perfect for any lover of classic literature. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Illustrated Classics series brings together handsome hardcover editions of classic works, beautifully presented with full-color, specially-commissioned illustrations, patterned endpapers and dust jackets.
