About the Book

Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read

«La vida te lo reserva todo, Dorian. Con tu extraordinario atractivo, no hay nada que no puedas conseguir.»
Basil Hallward había terminado el retrato. El joven Dorian, al verlo, no pudo más que desear, desde su frívola inocencia, que fuera su imagen la que envejeciera y se corrompiera con el paso de los años mientras él permanecía intacto. Y así fue: a partir de entonces, Dorian Gray conservó no solo la lozanía y la hermosura propias de la juventud, sino el aspecto puro de los inocentes. Pero¿a qué precio?

El retrato de Dorian Gray es un logro insoslayable de la literatura universal, vertido aquí magníficamente por el escritor y traductor Alejandro Palomas. Asimismo, el presente volumen adiciona un espléndido estudio introductorio, firmado por el reputado investigador y autor Robert Mighall.

Luis Antonio de Villena dijo...
«Un libro lleno de fascinación y encanto, fácil y difícil a la vez, y cuyo único protagonista y tema esencial es la belleza. Una de las pasiones que hacen vivir y dan sentido y fuerza al mundo.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular works. Written in Wilde's characteristically dazzling manner, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations, the tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused something of a scandal when it first appeared in 1890. Wilde was attacked for his decadence and corrupting influence, and a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, trials that resulted in his imprisonment. Of the book's value as autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (October 16, 1854 - November 30, 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and short story writer. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of gross indecency. The scholar H. Montgomery Hyde suggests this term implies homosexual acts not amounting to buggery in British legislation of the time.
About the Author: Oscar Wilde nació en Dublín en 1854. Estudió en el Trinity College de su ciudad y, más tarde, en Oxford, donde destacó en el estudio de los clásicos y como poeta. Fue allí donde recogió la influencia de los estetas Walter Pater y John Ruskin. Su peculiar indumentaria y su carácter excéntrico le convirtieron en blanco de sátiras y bromas, pero su ingenio y su talento le hicieron ganar numerosos admiradores. Tras un primer libro de poemas y una obra teatral, Vera o los nihilistas (1882), que se estrenó en Nueva York durante uno de sus viajes como conferenciante, el autor se instaló en Londres. En 1884 se casó con Constance Lloyd, una mujer irlandesa adinerada, con la que tuvo dos hijos. Desde entonces se dedicó por completo a la literatura. En 1895, en la cima de su carrera tras el estreno en 1890 de su polémica obra de teatro El retrato de Dorian Gray, que se publicaría como novela un año después, y tras el éxito de las comedias Una mujer sin importancia (1893), Un marido ideal (1895) y La importancia de llamarse Ernesto (1895), Wilde se convirtió en la víctima de las iras de la convencional sociedad victoriana al ser acusado de sodomía por el padre de lord Alfred Douglas. Hallado culpable en el juicio, fue encarcelado en Reading y condenado a trabajos forzados durante dos años. La prisión lo arruinó material y espiritualmente, y al salir se instaló en París, donde murió en 1900. Además de sus obras ya citadas, Wilde publicó tres colecciones de cuentos escritas para sus hijos: El príncipe feliz (1888), El crimen de lord Arthur Savile (1891) y La casa de las granadas (1892); un poderoso poema escrito en la cárcel, La balada de la cárcel de Reading (1898), y una extensa epístola confesional, De profundis (1895), publicada tras su muerte. Maestro también de la crítica y el ensayo, sus obras tienen una vigencia universal.
