The Picture of Dorian Gray (Illustrated). E-book. Formato Mobipocket Oscar Wilde - Enhanced Media Publishing, 2016 -
'Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now!'The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as the July 1890 issue. The magazine's editors feared the story was indecent as submitted, so they censored roughly 500 words, without Wilde's knowledge, before publication. But even with that, the story was still greeted with outrage by British reviewers, some of whom suggested that Wilde should be prosecuted on moral grounds, leading Wilde to defend the novel aggressively in letters to the British press.Today, Wilde's fin de siècle novella is considered a classic. It is presented here with illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley, Wilde's one time friend and collaborator with whom he fell out over Salome. The illustrations include a caricature of Wilde by Beardsley as well as a high definition copy of the original Lippincott's Magazine cover from July, 1890.
