关于此电子书
Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is a masterful work of Gothic fiction that delves into themes of vanity, morality, and the consequences of aestheticism. The novel follows the life of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man who sells his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. As the years pass, Dorian's portrait ages and becomes a grotesque reflection of his inner corruption, while he remains untouched by time. Wilde's writing is rich in wit and symbolism, making the novel a compelling exploration of the darker aspects of human nature within the context of Victorian society. The decadent and hedonistic lifestyle portrayed in the book serves as a critique of societal norms and the oppressive nature of conformity. Through Dorian Gray's descent into moral decay, Wilde presents a thought-provoking commentary on the destructive power of unchecked desire and the pursuit of perfection.
作者简介
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) remains one of the most illustrious and provocative writers in English literature, known for his sharp wit, flamboyant style, and a penchant for challenging the societal norms of his time. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Wilde became an influential voice during the late Victorian era, advocating for individualism and aestheticism, an intellectual stance that art should exist for beauty alone, rather than to serve a moral or utilitarian function. He studied classic literature at Trinity College, Dublin, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he excelled and won numerous accolades. Wilde's bibliography encompasses a diverse array of works, ranging from poetic meditations to iconic plays such as 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'An Ideal Husband'. However, it is perhaps his 1890 novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' that endures as his most celebrated and controversial work. This novel, which explores themes of decadence, vanity, and moral duplicity, illustrates Wilde's fascination with the blurred lines between art and life, along with the dangers of yielding to temptation. Despite facing personal scandals and a trial that led to his imprisonment, Oscar Wilde's literary output continued to earn recognition and remains a cornerstone of English literature for its eloquence and its ability to critique social mores with biting humor and insight. His work has inspired countless adaptations and remains widely read and studied, reflecting his lasting relevance and the enduring power of his artistry.
