Author Spotlight: Brief, engaging biography of Oscar Wilde

Step into the gilded salons and shadowed attics of Victorian London, where beauty glitters—and conscience withers. Oscar Wilde's only novel follows Dorian Gray, a dazzling young man who makes a perilous wish: that his portrait should bear the marks of age and sin while he remains forever young. Guided by the seductive wit of Lord Henry and adored by the earnest artist Basil Hallward, Dorian begins a thrilling descent into pleasure, secrecy, and ruin—his flawless face unchanging while the hidden canvas grows monstrous.
This illustrated edition heightens the novel's gothic allure with 20 atmospheric images that spotlight iconic moments: the unveiling of the portrait, the theatre's velvet glow, the opium-fogged streets, and the final, chilling reckoning. Whether you're discovering Wilde for the first time or returning for the aphorisms and moral sting, this volume brings fresh clarity and visual drama to a timeless classic.
