Bildnis Des Dorian Gray

Bildnis des Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde

Dorian Gray, ein junger Mann von außergewöhnlicher Schönheit, wünscht sich, dass sein Porträt anstelle von ihm altert, während er selbst ewig jung bleibt. Sein Wunsch wird erfüllt, doch mit jedem Akt der Selbstsucht und des moralischen Verfalls, den er begeht, wird sein Porträt zunehmend hässlicher und verzerrter, während Dorian selbst unberührt von den Folgen seines Handelns bleibt. Das Buch erforscht Themen wie die Vergänglichkeit von Schönheit, die Macht der Kunst, die Korruption der Seele und die Folgen von Hedonismus und Selbstsüchtigkeit.
