Bookroo's summary

Dorian Gray, captivated by his own portrait, makes a dark pact for eternal youth. As he indulges in a life of hidden vices under Lord Henry's influence, his outward appearance remains untouched, while his portrait bears the marks of his moral decay. What will happen when the truth of his soul is finally revealed? This gripping tale explores the sinister depths of vanity and the consequences of living a double life in Victorian society.

From the publisher

The tale of a youth whose features, year after year, retain the same appearance of innocent beauty while the shame of his abhorrent vices becomes mirrored on the features of his portrait.
