Als Dorian Gray sich auf dem Gem�lde erblickt, ist er von sich selbst so gefesselt, dass er einen ebenso wahnwitzigen wie folgenschweren Wunsch ausspricht: Er selbst soll immer so jung und makellos sch�n bleiben wie auf diesem Portr�t; das Bild soll an seiner Stelle altern. Sein Wunsch wird erh�ht, der faustische Pakt besiegelt. Dorian f�llt seinen innersten Abgr�nde zum Opfer. Nach au�en hin bleibt er makellos, doch sein Portr�t, das er in einem verstaubten Zimmer auf dem Dachboden versteckt, zeigt ihm die Verfehlungen seiner Seele schonungslos und auf schauerlichste Weise.

Er war ber�hmt f�r geschliffene Sprachgewandtheit und extravagantes Auftreten und ging f�r die damalige Zeit offen mit seiner Homosexualit�t um. Seine homosexuellen Partnerschaften f�hrten zu gesellschaftlichen Skandalen, zwei Gerichtsprozessen und seiner Inhaftierung. Gesundheitlich schwer angeschlagen wurde Wilde 1897 aus der Haft entlassen und floh vor der gesellschaftlichen �chtung nach Paris. Die letzten drei Lebensjahre verbrachte er unter dem Namen Sebastian Melmoth (nach dem Roman Melmoth the Wanderer seines Gro�onkels Charles Robert Maturin) auf dem europ�ischen Festland in Armut und Isolation.

Download or read book The Picture of Dorian Gray written by Oscar Wilde and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 1998-02-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Oscar Wilde’s famous novel, Dorian Gray is tempted by Henry Wotton to sell his soul in order to hold on to beauty and youth. Dorian succumbs and murders the portrait painter Basil Haliward, who stands between him and his goal. Though in the end vice is punished and virtue rewarded, the novel remains one of the most important expressions of fin de siècle decadence. It is in the preface to the expanded edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray that Wilde coined the most famous expression of his aesthetic: “There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well-written or badly-written. That is all.” Like other Broadview Editions, this edition includes a wide range of materials from the period that help to set the text in context. In particular, the editor locates the text both in relation to elements in the mainstream culture of the day (such as the aesthetes); and in relation to the gay subculture.

Book excerpt: The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor without Wilde's knowledge deleted roughly five hundred words before publication. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.

Lord Henry Wotton makes Dorian Gray believe that the only thing important in life is beauty. However, Dorian realizes that he will become less beautiful as he grows older.

He does many bad things, while his portrait becomes more aged with each bad deed. Later on, Dorian decides to stop doing bad things in the hopes that this will make his portrait become beautiful again, but it only makes it worse. Dorian thinks that only a full confession will make the portrait beautiful again. However, he does not feel guilty for anything he has done. So Dorian picks up a knife and destroys the portrait.When his servants hear a scream from Dorian's room, they call the police.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.Newly 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, while staying young and beautiful; all the while his portrait ages and records every sin...Die Handlung setzt mit einem Gespr�ch zweier junger M�nner ein, Lord Henry Wotton (genannt Lord Henry oder Harry), eines gebildeten Dandys, und des erfolgreichen Malers Basil Hallward. Ort des Geschehens ist Basils Atelier, das sich in einen Garten �ffnet. Es geht um Kunst und Selbstinszenierung.Hallwards im Atelier aufgestelltes Ganzk�rper-Portr�t des sch�nen, jungen Dorian Gray r�hrt Lord Henrys Neugier, so dass Hallward von seiner ersten, ergreifenden Begegnung mit dem jungen Mann zu erz�hlen beginnt, die ihn an ,,den Rand einer Lebenskrise" gebracht habe. Dorian Gray verleite ihn zu einer ,,neuen Kunstrichtung, die alle Leidenschaft der romantischen, alle Vollkommenheit des griechischen Geistes in sich einschlie�en soll".
