The Picture of Dorian Gray

De: Oscar Wilde

Narrado por: Stephen Fry

Oscar Wilde's only published full-length novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, is the story of a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for eternal youth. As Basil Hallward, an aspiring artist, puts a few touches on a portrait of his handsome young friend Dorian Gray, Gray wishes that the portrait might grow old while he remains forever young. While Dorian Gray spends his life pursuing fresh experiences and new sensations, his looks do not change. However, the portrait, secretly hidden in the attic of his residence and with which he has grown increasingly obsessed, does. More and more, as Dorian struggles to hide his true identity, the portrait reveals his progressive pathway to dissolution.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

The best version of a classic

Stephen Fry’s performance is wonderful. One of the best audiobooks ever recorded. The fact that this may be the best novel ever written doesn’t hurt.

One of the best audiobooks ever

I think this is the best audiobook that I heard so far. Stephen Fry is, with no doubt, the best reader here in Audible.

Incredible Story with Excellent Prose

Beautiful to listen to and as always Stephen Fry does an incredible job bringing the work to life. Highly recommend!

Loved this!

My eight-year-old daughter and I go on road trips around the country and one dark, cloudy day we decided to start listening to this audiobook. We found ourselves listening to it through the whole night and loved it! I don’t mean to imply that this is a book for children, but that it is timeless. If an eight year old in 2023 can enjoy this, that says some thing!

Great Narration

I've always been an Oscar Wilde fan, but never read Dorian gray. Excellent book, with wonderful narration. When I saw that it was narrated by Stephen Frye, I had to get it and listen, and I'm glad I did.

Excellent

Definitely deserves to be a classic. Asks pertinent and meaningful questions about life and morality.

my boy Stephen

one of my absolute favorite books read by one of my absolute favorite readers. cant go wrong!

Incredible performance of a chilling classic!

I never tire of hearing Stephen Fry bring classic literature to life. A brilliant interpretation.
