Clandestine Classics : The Picture of Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray. Beautiful and charming, he hides his true nature from everyone in the dark recess of his soul. An artist is the creator of beautiful things, but what happens when that art conceals the true nature of one's soul? Dorian Gray, a charismatic and beautiful man, is about to find out that with beauty there comes a cost. Living a life of debauchery, he realises that time and age no longer affect him, not when the evil that is now his life is sucked into the vortex of his reflected self. As Dorian Gray sets out to prove himself to all around him, he realises his acts of vileness and hatred will hurt the people his cold heart has grown to care for. His love knows no bounds, but it is that love that ultimately leaves him alone, only knowing the self-disgust that is now his life. This is a story of a young man who will set out to live his life to the fullest even if that destroys everyone and everything around him, himself included.
