Wonderful writing and a unique story. Dorian Gray is an example of all things evil in human kind and his picture is a reflection into his soul. The story is a gruesome tale of a young boy who misinterprets the meaning of life and is further haunted by questionable decisions and well deserved misfortune. This is a dark tale, but worth experiencing.

От толкова много време исках да прочета тази книга, а сега, когато я прочетох, искам да я прочета още веднъж. 🌸

A clever look at vanity, pleasure, sin, and how it shapes a human being. There are fascinating parallels between Dorian and Lord Henry's fates, ideaology, and our time with our dual identity via profiles on social media and how some of us tries to keep the surface forever young with the help of plastics and surgery.
"The elder man lay back and looked at him with half-closed eyes. “By the way, Dorian,” he said, after a pause, “‘what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose’— how does the quotation run? —‘his own soul’?”"
