Dorian Gray is a young, handsome man, whose heart and soul were never spoiled by sin. One day, a talented\u00a0artist paints a portrait of extraordinary beauty, which reveals Dorian\u2019s beauty and purity. Dorian begins to grow jealous\u00a0of his own portrait. He makes a wish to look always young and handsome, and the portrait to grow old and ugly\u00a0instead of him. By some mysterious coincidence, his wish comes true and Dorian remains young and handsome for\u00a0years. He lives his life without limits, searching for new sensations and pleasures. But the more sins he commits, the\u00a0uglier looks his appearance on the canvas of the portrait. However, the destruction of his own soul matters absolutely\u00a0nothing to him.\u00a0In course of time, Dorian\u2019s soul becomes indifferent and evil: he drives the actress who loves him to suicide, he\u00a0kills the artist who had painted his portrait, and he spoiled many friends by his wish for new sensations. Thus he\u00a0leads his bohemian life without pricks of conscience or mental repentance. But as years pass away, his fears and\u00a0loneliness increase with every day. He makes up his mind to become kind and good as before. Is it too late for him\u00a0to stop the destruction of his soul? Or is he doomed to eternal pain and bitterness?\u00a0A mysterious story that reveals the value of human virtues and morals.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
