When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait's degraded image. Wilde's unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose. The result is a novel that is as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>OSCAR WILDE (1854-1900) was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright.
