THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (+CD)

Παρουσίαση

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the story of a man with a terrible secret. Dorian Gray lives a double life: a public life in elegant high society' and a life of secret sin in the most degraded slums of Victorian London.
Received with outrage by the critics on its publication in 1890, The Picture of Dorian Gray expresses the essence of aestheticism and fin de siecle decadence in the pure English of the great prose stylist Oscar Wilde.
