奧斯卡王爾德這部充滿頹廢與罪惡的迷人小說，一經出版便引發了軒然大波。小說講述了道林·格雷被自己精美的肖像所迷惑，用靈魂換取永恆的青春與美貌。在好友亨利·沃頓勳爵的影響下，他陷入了墮落的雙重生活，暗中沉溺於慾望，卻又在上流社會的眼中保持著紳士風度。只有他的肖像仍保留著他墮落的痕跡。這本權威版本收錄了一系列當代評論，譴責這部小說的不道德。
Oscar Wilde's alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succès de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, 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 depravity. This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel's immorality.
