  The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde. A shorter
  novella-length version was published in the July 1890 issue of the American
  periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Wilde then expanded that text into a
  novel published as a book in April 1891
  The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray by Basil Hallward, an artist
  impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord
  Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview:
  that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly
  understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul,
  to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted,
  and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying
  young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every one of
  Dorian's sins.
  Wilde's only novel, it was subject to much controversy and criticism in its time but
  has come to be recognized as a classic of gothic literature.
