Oscar Wilde

Retrato De Dorian Gray, El Oscar Wilde Spanish edition

Basil Hallward pinta un retrato del joven y apuesto Dorian Gray. Tras una conversacion con Lord Henry, Dorian reflexiona sobre el caracter efimero de la belleza y la juventud y maldice su retrato, pues considera que en el futuro sera un triste recordatorio de la salud y la belleza perdida. Angustiado, vende su alma para que sea su retrato el que envejezca y permanecer el siempre joven. A partir de entonces, sera el retrato quien refleje su corrupta vida y el paso de los años... / Basil Hallward, an artist, meets Dorian Gray and paints his portrait. The artist is so infatuated with Dorian's beauty that he begins to believe it is the reason for his quality of art. Dorian becomes convinced that beauty is all-important and wishes his portrait could age instead of him. Beware of what you have wish for! Each time Dorian commits a sin his portrait ages, showing him what is happening to his soul.
