Beskrivning
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 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 novel was a succès de scandale and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.

  1. 5/5 Joana

    Det är intressant att se hur lite som egentligen förändras över tid på ett mänskligt plan. Och samtidigt ändå så självklart. En ny favorit.

  2. 4/5 Anders R

    Jag köpte boken till min dotter. Hon har inte läst den än men tyckte bra om utseende på pärmarna och layouten!

  3. 5/5 Malin

    Denna bok var konstant underhållande i både språk och vändningar. Dialogen är skarp och utmanande med en gnistrande glimt i ögat. Underbart med en bok som både ger behållning och är en fröjd att läsa!
