El Retrato de Doryan Gray (Spanish Edition) (Special Classic Edition)

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

Cuando se publicó El retrato de Dorian Gray, la crítica moralizante no dejó de acusar a su protagonista de ser una figura satánica, corrompida y corruptora, sin comprender que era el héroe de una novela que reflejaba la fatalidad de los románticos. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) había querido hacer de la belleza un refinamiento de la inteligencia, y para ello sumió a su protagonista, Dorian Gray, en una atmósfera de perversión dominada por el arte y los poderes de un misterio que está más allá de la realidad: gracias a los dioses, el culto a la belleza puede trasladar las huellas del paso del tiempo a un cuadro, mientras el rostro de Dorian Gray permanece inalterado e inalterable.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
