About this listen

Oscar Wilde's enduring masterpiece, this fable of innocence and corruption, purity and decay has become a true classic. The beautiful, narcissistic Dorian Gray, torn between the influence of cynical hedonist Lord Henry Wotton and tortured artist Basil Hallward, sells the beauty of his soul in exchange for external perfection. Ultimately, he cannot escape the disfigurement of sin. Wilde's remarkable wit and memorable, epigrammatic lines dazzle in audiobook form!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

If you haven't seen the film then don't see it until you've read/heard the book. It really is far superior. The narration here it really easy to listen to and the story is riveting.
