Synopsis

*Student edition *Lightly annotated *The final version of Oscar Wilde's classic with a new introduction by specialist Avishek Parui *Chronology of events and author's life * Reader-friendly.

The existential complexity of Wilde's novel emerges largely from its uneasy enmeshing of embodied life and fetishized death, of stable and changing selves, clearly anticipating the more Modernist literary experiments with the sentient self in the works of Woolf and Joyce. Transforming an ancient myth of soul-selling and eternal damnation into a moving and unsettling story of human fantasies, fears, retribution and redemption, The Picture of Dorian Gray richly deserves the prized status of a literary classic that it enjoys today.
