Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray / The Picture of Dorian Gray - Zweisprachige Ausgabe (Deutsch-Englisch)

Oscar Wilde's classic novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' enchants readers with its captivating tale of vanity, morality, and corruption. Set in Victorian England, the story follows the young and handsome Dorian Gray, whose portrait ages and shows the effects of his debauched lifestyle while he remains outwardly unscathed. Wilde's writing style is characterized by his sharp wit, clever dialogue, and philosophical reflections on the nature of beauty and the consequences of one's actions. The novel is a prime example of the decadent literature of the late 19th century, challenging societal norms and exploring the limits of aestheticism and hedonism. The bilingual edition allows readers to appreciate the nuances of Wilde's language in both English and German, enhancing the reading experience.
