About the Book

En esta novela, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) indaga sobre el mito de la eterna juventud, al recrear el tema de un pacto diabólico para conservar la belleza y permanecer eternamente joven.Un pintor queda fascinado por la extraordinaria hermosura de Dorian, su joven modelo, que vive en plena era victoriana satisfaciendo todos sus deseos, sin límites ni prejuicios.El pintor declara que sería dichoso si Dorian pudiese permanecer para siempre exactamente como es. Este deseo se traduce en un pacto que lleva a Dorian a cometer todo tipo de atrocidades, hasta llegar al crimen.A medida que se desarrolla la novela y que el protagonista se sumerge en el vicio en contraposición con el desesperado anhelo de eterna juventud, se presiente un final terrible."Con frecuencia, al volver a su casa después de alguna de aquellas prolongadas y misteriosas ausencias que provocaran tan extrañas conjeturas entre sus amigos -o que por tales se tenían- subía a paso de lobo la escalera hasta la cerrada habitación, abría la puerta con la llave que nunca le abandonaba, y allí, en pie frente al retrato obra de Basil Hallward, con un espejo en la mano, miraba alternativamente el rostro perverso y envejecido del lienzo y la faz joven y hermosa que le sonreía desde el cristal. La misma violencia del contraste avivaba su deleite. Cada día se sentía más enamorado de su propia belleza, más interesado en la corrupción de su alma."El retrato de Dorian Gray es una extensa alegoría que sondea las profundidades del ser humano y cuya vigencia sorprende en cada nueva lectura de esta magistral obra.
About the Author: (Dublín, 1854 - París, 1900) Escritor británico. Hijo del cirujano William Wills-Wilde y de la escritora Joana Elgee, Oscar Wilde tuvo una infancia tranquila y sin sobresaltos. Estudió en la Portora Royal School de Euniskillen, en el Trinity College de Dublín y, posteriormente, en el Magdalen College de Oxford, centro en el que permaneció entre 1874 y 1878 y en el cual recibió el Premio Newdigate de poesía, que gozaba de gran prestigio en la época. Oscar Wilde combinó sus estudios universitarios con viajes (en 1877 visitó Italia y Grecia), al tiempo que publicaba en varios periódicos y revistas sus primeros poemas, que fueron reunidos en 1881 en Poemas. Al año siguiente emprendió un viaje a Estados Unidos, donde ofreció una serie de conferencias sobre su teoría acerca de la filosofía estética, que defendía la idea del arte por el arte y en la cual sentaba las bases de lo que posteriormente dio en llamarse dandismo.
