This is an automatically translated description

The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). This work caused a huge scandal with its appearance, causing contradictory assessments of contemporaries, but at the same time made the author famous and secured his place in the pantheon of the world's most famous writers. Combining the features of a Gothic novel, a comedy of characters, and a treatise on the relationship between art and morality, The Portrait of Dorian Gray still remains a mystery to readers and that is why it does not lose its relevance.
