Our quoted authority is not the people in white coats but those with a quill, a heart and a soul that can take these feelings of love and loss and with the ink of words put to verse feelings and emotions that can be re-lived and shared by all.

Cunning. Corrupt. Charismatic. The degenerate characters in this collection shun conventional morality, and will stop at nothing to get what they want...

Dieser einzige Roman Oscar Wildes ist ein Selbstporträt in zwei Figuren: Der dekadente, arrogante, in seine amoralischen Sentenzen verliebte zynische Snob Lord Henry und der von ihm verdorbene unschuldige Dorian Gray, der die Lehren Lord Henrys in die Tat umsetzt. Dorians Gewissen wird dabei durch ein Porträt ersetzt, das seine Sünden stellvertretend durch fortschreitenden Verfall auf sich nimmt, während er selbst sich in völlig unveränderter Jugendfrische ungehemmt seiner Lasterhaftigkeit hingeben kann.

Oscar Wilde - Dandy, Schriftsteller, Star der Londoner Society und gefeierter Bühnenautor des Fin de siècle - nimmt mit Dorian Gray auf geradezu tragische Weise Stationen seines eigenen Lebens vorweg. Der schöne junge Dorian bezaubert den Maler Basil Hallward und erliegt seinerseits dem Einfluss des geistreichen und zynischen Adeligen, Lord Henry. Als Basil ein Porträt von Dorian anfertigt, wünscht er sich selbstverliebt, dass nicht er, sondern das Porträt altern soll. Sein Wunsch wird erfüllt. Dorian führt ein zügelloses Leben, stürzt Menschen in Abgründe und lebt selber alterslos und unbeschadet weiter - zumindest eine Zeit lang.
