The Picture of Dorian Gray
Wilde’s only novel is a London fairy tale about a portrait that works overtime while a young man tries to stay ornamental. Epigrams fly; the moral bill arrives anyway. The public-domain text is short, quotable, and still used in arguments about beauty and harm. Read it here, then keep an EPUB if you like to underline Lord Henry’s worst advice.
