Oscar Wilde's classic tale of narcissism is rife with symbolism and classic themes. Beyond the critical approach, the story can simply be enjoyed on its own as a well-written tale of suspense and surprise.
Annotation: Oscar Wilde's classic work about a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth. Only his portrait ages, while he remains a handsome young man. Wilde's allegory, first published in 1890, provides an interesting take on the Faust myth and also a probing examination of human values.
