En su única novela, el divino Oscar Wilde puso al día el mito de Fausto. En este caso, la víctima es Dorian Gray, un bello y joven presuntuoso a quien un amigo hace un retrato al óleo. Cuando Dorian trabe amistad con lord Henry Wotton, un cínico filósofo, éste le convencerá de que sus más valiosas posesiones son su belleza y su juventud. Y a partir de ahí, su deseo de que su retrato envejezca mientras él permanezca joven se hace realidad. Estamos, simple y llanamente, ante uno de los libros más bellos e ingeniosos de todos los tiempos.Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian’s beauty; he believes that Dorian’s beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat’s hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life.Understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.
