El Retrato De Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
Publisher Marketing: La novela cuenta la historia de un joven llamado Dorian Gray, retratado por el artista Basilio Hallward, quien queda enormemente impresionado por la belleza fisica de Dorian y comienza a encapricharse con el, creyendo que esta belleza es la responsable de la nueva forma de su arte. Charlando en el jardin de Basil, Dorian conoce a Lord Henry Wotton, un amigo de Basil, y empieza a cautivarse por la vision del mundo de Lord Henry. Exponiendo un nuevo tipo de hedonismo, Lord Henry indica que "lo unico que vale la pena en la vida es la belleza, y la satisfaccion de los sentidos." Al darse cuenta de que un dia su belleza se desvanecera, Dorian desea tener siempre la edad de cuando le pinto en el cuadro Basil. El deseo de Dorian se cumple, mientras el mantiene para siempre la misma apariencia del cuadro, la figura en el retratada envejece por el. Su busqueda del placer lo lleva a una serie de actos de libertinaje y perversion; pero, el retrato sirve como un recordatorio de los efectos de cada uno de los actos cometidos sobre su alma, con cada pecado siendo expuesto como una desfiguracion de su rostro o a traves de un signo de envejecimiento." Contributor Bio: Wilde, Oscar Oscar Wilde was a Victorian-era British author and playwright. In his youth, Wilde became attached to the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized the appreciation of the aesthetic value of cultural creations above social or political purposes, and this philosophy influenced his work throughout his career. The themes of art and beauty are particularly present in his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, , and in his two most popular dramatic works, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest. A quarrel with the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred, resulted in Wilde's arrest and imprisonment for gross indecency. Wilde died in 1900, penniless and in exile, as a result of cerebral meningitis contracted while in prison. Contributor Bio: Anonymous also known as Joseph Benner
