Description

The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian is selected for his remarkable physical beauty, and Basil becomes strongly infatuated with Dorian, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode of art. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme. It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in modern times, the book has been referred to as "one of the modern classics of Western literature.

  These American-imposed copyright extensions are getting ridiculous. But not this bad! Wilde died 120 years ago.

  Why get a DRM-encumbered version?
  Always free. e.g. here:

    Standard Ebooks have been doing some great work by taking public domain books and going through them to enhance the formatting and typography. Many ebooks on Gutenburg or Archive are auto-generated, resulting in weird artifacts and non-standard formatting.

    Dorian Gray is available here: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/oscar-wilde/the-picture-of…

    They also have a GitHub account where they publish the source code for everything: https://github.com/standardebooks

    Presumably the modern photo of the guy on the cover is copyrighted recently. He’s not even that attractive tbh.
