Portrait of Dorian Gray = The Picture of Dorian Gray

Every art is a mirror. Look into the «Portrait of Dorian Gray» yourself. What will you find in it? A story of the fall from grace? Reflections on the price of eternal youth? A collection of exquisite social witticisms? The... answer depends on you. One thing can be said for sure: if you appreciate good style, Oscar Wilde has it in abundance. This edition provides the original text alongside the parallel translation by Mikhail Likiardopulo, a journalist, spy, and polyglot, as well as a keen connoisseur of Oscar Wilde's work. His translation of the «Portrait of Dorian Gray» wonderfully conveys the language of the original and is rightly considered one of the best. The text is accompanied by engravings by Louis Trégo and Fernand Siméon. The frontispiece is an engraving by Henry Keen. The parallel text of the book makes it especially useful for studying the English language. The ribbon bookmark, convenient format, and beautiful cover add sophistication and appeal to the book. It can be purchased not only for your collection but also as a gift for dear and close ones.
