Résumé
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel by Oscar Wilde that tells the story of a portrait painted by Basil Hallward, which ages and records the sins of its subject, Dorian Gray.

He indulges in a life of amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful. The novel faced controversy and criticism, leading to edits and deletions of certain book before publication. The story explores themes of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of society. Dorian's actions lead to tragedy and ultimately his own downfall.
