此作為英國維多利亞時期爭議不斷的曠世文豪─奧斯卡‧王爾德唯一傳世的經典小說。同時，王爾徳深受法國象徵主義影響，堪稱英國唯美主義的魁首，The Picture of Dorian Gray無啻是唯美主義極緻之作。王爾徳更透過此書，攻訐當時倫敦虛偽的社會風氣，展現他睥睨世情的獨特目光。
為了永恆的美貌，格雷用自己的靈魂與惡魔交換永不消逝的青春。隨著時間流逝，格雷也漸漸發現了，這一切已非他原先所設想
When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siécle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian's slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay.
Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde's only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale, it has been denounced by others for its implicit immorality. Combining elements of the supernatural, aestheticism, and the Gothic, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unclassifiable and uniquely unsettling work of fiction.
