On this day in 1900, Oscar Wilde died. "The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame." ―Oscar Wilde, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY ABOUT THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY Entranced by the perfection of his recently painted portrait, the youthful Dorian Gray expresses a wish that the figure on the canvas could age and change in his place. When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait’s degraded image. Wilde’s unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose. The result is a novel that is as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author. https://lnkd.in/gqHwPAPV via Oscar Wilde. 🌹💐🌕🩸✨
