Description
It seemed to be an impossible task to outdo the former edition of 'Dorian Gray' in the World's Classics series, but Bristow has achieved his goal. The quality of the explanatory notes is, simply, superb, and the introduction is succint but informative,
Présentation de l'éditeur
'The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.' When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siécle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian's slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay. Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde's only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale, it has been denounced by others for its implicit immorality. Combining elements of the supernatural, aestheticism, and the Gothic, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unclassifiable and uniquely unsettling work of fiction.

THE studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.* Lire la première page Parcourir les pages échantillon

A real masterpiece:
- with a captivating story : how things will end up for Dorian? Will he realize what his eternal youth really is? A gift from heaven or a curse from the devil? The end is just perfect (I saw it coming :-) )...
- with the dialogs, the work of a perfectionist or just an endowed artist just like the character of the painter in the book; I wished I could learn them by heart...
I will definitely read it again ... soon.

Above all I think that the idea of ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' is one of the greatest idea of any writer 'cause we must
realize that there might be so big a difference between the beauty of a masterpiece and what kind of man of merit we're
gonna find in whom made or inspired that masterpiece (or both of them). That artist might have been a very bad person
just like the one who might have given him that kind of feeling's power_
And so in the depths of a beautiful ocean you could discover those bad hideous revelations.
We could think what we want to think about Oscar''people got to be free''and yet who could deny that very profligate
impetuous impertinent carefree youthful red blood into his very nature?
You ought to be that reader!
For the rest you must knock down reading Oscar's writings those no trespassing signs of any bourgeois idiot!

Ce livre est simplement un chef d'oeuvre dont on ne peut que se délecter. Il est souvent connu par ouïe dire mais rien ne vaut une vraie lecture. C'est un vrai guide de vie, un écho de Ronsard et du si fameux Carpe diem poursuivit jusqu'à ses limites. L'aspect quelque peu gothique du portrait prenant les signes des péchés du modèle pourra attirer les plus jeunes et les pousser à lire ensuite Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde. Pour les autres: specialistes de Wilde ou non initiés, ce livre si riche pourra constituer un vrai "bréviaire de la décadence" à lire et relire pour enfin en apprécier toute la profondeur et l'esthétisme si particulier à Wilde.
