The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

What would do if you could stay young forever? Dorian Gray sells his soul in order to maintain his youth. Along the way, he loses his own soul, becoming obsessed with experiencing the pleasures of life, no matter what the cost, even if this pursuit destroys many others. Some say he is a Gothic antihero. I say the book is more than just that. A look at the pressures of society, and the depravity of man. I challenge you to read this tale and decide for yourself.
