This Penguin Classic is the result of a creative collaboration between Bill Amberg and the world's favourite publisher.

It is one in a series of six luxury leather-bound titles.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society.

Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was a succes de scandale.

Early readers were shocked by its hints of unspeakable sins, and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at his trial at the Old Bailey in 1895.
