The Picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde (Ukrainian Hardcover, 2023)

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s iconic novel that lingers at the intersection of beauty, hedonism, and moral decay. It tells the story of Dorian Gray, a handsome aristocrat who wishes to remain forever youthful. His wish is eerily granted: while his external appearance remains unblemished, a portrait hidden away ages and grotesquely reflects the corruption of his soul. In this hallmark of fin de siècle literature, Wilde probes the dangers of vanity and the inevitable collapse of inner virtue.

The Ukrainian hardcover edition from BookChef (2023) has 288 pages, measures 128 × 200 mm, and weighs about 290 g, with a translation by Tetiana Marchenko. Its presentation blends classic mood with accessible design for modern audiences.
