"That is just the awful complication." "It is indeed a hideous enigma," said Dr. Hood. "This young James Todhunter," continued the cleric, "is a very decent man so far as I know; but then nobody knows very much. He is a bright, brownish little fellow, agile like a monkey, clean-shaven like an actor, and obliging like a born courtier.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray 's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray ." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment.

La ricezione delle Novelas ejemplares di Miguel de Cervantes, in Italia e fuori di Spagna, non fu delle più semplici e lineari. Di certo è possibile stabilire che furono pubblicate per la prima volta, e con regolare Privilegio Reale, per i tipi di Juan de la Cuesta, nel 1613, e che l'inizio della loro redazione risalirebbe, con ogni probabilità e prudenza, al 1590.
