Présentation de l'éditeur
From Longman's new Cultural Editions Series, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, edited by Andrew Elfenbein, includes the novel and contextual materials from the era of Oscar Wilde.
This edition of Oscar Wilde's classic work, The Picture of Dorian Gray, highlights the novel's modernity in both its form and its revolutionary content, and traces its links to modernist literature and the culture of modernity alike.
Previous editions of the novel have only seen it in a late Victorian context, or as an extension of the aesthetic theories of Walter Pater and the �??art for art's sake�?? movement. As presented in this new edition, however, the freshness and originality of the book emerges, along with its strong social messages. The book is a pastiche of genres that propels nineteenth-century realism into twentieth-century modernism ahead of its own time. Wilde's novel offers a myth for modernity whose hold on the cultural imagination has only strengthened over time-Dorian Gray's uncanny bond with his own portrait underscores the loss of selfhood everyone experiences in a world of images and copies, paves the way for the discourses of homosexuality and the understanding of lifestyle as identity so current today, and provides clues to the mysteries of modern ethics and politics. The edition also emphasizes the role of gender and the rise of female emancipation underlying the Sybil Vane subplot, a focus on women that intensifies the book's relevance to modern transformations of men and women alike.

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

- 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.
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!
Bien embalé et en bon état.
Rien à reprocher.
Listmania!
