Book Description
아름다운 육체에겐 쾌락이 있으나 아름다운 영혼에겐 고통뿐! 영원한 젊음과 즐거움을 위해 악마에게 영혼을 판 파우스트의 전설을 변형해 만든 이 작품은 셰익스피어 이후 최고의 극작가가 쓴 단 한 편의 장편 소설이자 유미주의의 극치를 달리는 19세기 말 영국문학의 대표작이다.
더블린에서 태어나 평론가, 소설가, 극작가로서 이름을 떨쳤을 뿐 아니라 동성연애에 대한 사회적 적대심에 통렬한 비난을 가하고 귀족 사회의 위선을 거침없이 폭로한 오스카 와일드의 분신 같은 소설인 이 작품에서, 영원한 젊음과 미모를 부여 받은 듯한 귀족 청년 도리언 그레이 뒤에는 살인과 배신, 추악한 인간 본성을 짊어진 그의 초상이 숨어있다. 끝없는 쾌락과 탐미의 질주 끝에 갑작스럽게 닥치는 놀라운 반전을 만나보자.
Wilde's infamous novel of spiritual corruption
The Picture of Dorian Gray was a succees de scandale. Early readers were shocked by its hints at unspeakable sins and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895.
Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray makes a Faustian bargain to sell his soul in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. Under the influence of Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, where he is able to indulge his desires while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only Dorian's picture bears the traces of his decadence.
A knowing account of a secret life and an analysis of the darker side of late Victorian society. The Picture of Dorian Gray offers a disturbing portrait of an individual coming face to face with the reality of his soul. [예스24 제공]
