Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray is both an exquisite and terrible story about a man who lost his soul for the sake of unfading beauty. The moral decline of young Dorian is reflected only in his portrait - but nothing can last forever... After all, true Beauty cannot be immoral, and Vice cannot be truly beautiful.
On the pages of his only completed novel, the Great Master of Paradoxes wove an elegant and shocking web of contradictions - and made the whole world talk about himself for a century. Over the years, the beautiful Dorian has been given the gift of over 30 film adaptations, radio plays, plays, musicals and even the name of mental illness - oh, his literary father would undoubtedly be pleased. A mesmerizing chain of black and white illustrations created by Moscow artist Andrei Simanchuk is filled with mysterious symbols and mystical allusions. Don't be surprised if, behind Sir Henry's impeccable appearance, you suddenly see a strangely familiar face with an arrogant look under sarcastically arched eyebrows. You've probably met this hero, only you called him differently: Mephistopheles, Woland, or something else...
