The central hero of Oscar Wilde, the young aristocrat Dorian, captivated by the dazzling beauty of his portrait (which was painted by the famous artist Basil Hallward) and realizing that one day his beauty will fade, wishes to never grow old!

He sells his soul in exchange for eternal youth, and his beauty remains untouched by time, in contrast to the portrait which bears the marks of decay.

Dorian will encounter Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of the artist Basil, will be enchanted by his intense personality and ideas, and will plunge into a decadent life, while the portrait will remind him of decay and the impact of each of his actions on his soul…

“Please leave my book in the immortality it deserves,” Oscar Wilde.
