Synopsis "The Picture of Dorian Gray (Modern Library Classics) (in English)"

Introduction by Jeffrey Eugenides - Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to 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."

Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus cuentos, sus obras de teatro, su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray, y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su muerte prematura.

View Author's Page
Jeffrey Eugenides (Detroit, 1960) estudió en las universidades de Brown y Stanford. Es autor de tres aclamadas novelas, todas ellas publicadas por Anagrama: Las vírgenes suicidas, llevada al cine por Sofia Coppola: «Extraordinaria novela, las hermanas Lisbon son a la literatura de los noventa lo que el Holden Caulfield de El guardián entre el centeno fue a la de los cincuenta» (Sergi Sánchez, El Mundo); Middlesex, que obtuvo el Pulitzer 2003 y fue considerada una de las mejores novelas de las últimas décadas: «Sobresaliente, poderosísima» (Antonio Fontana, ABC); «Magnífica saga familiar, una novela deslumbrante» (Ignacio Martínez de Pisón); «Colosal» (David Guzmán, La Razón); y La trama nupcial: «Fino y empático... Eugenides vuelve para reclamar su lugar entre los maestros artesanos de la (gran) novela (americana)» (Rubén Pujol, Rockdelux); «Una luminosa meditación acerca de la distancia que media entre la literatura y la vida» (Eduardo Lago, El País).
