The Picture of Dorian Gray
3 journalers for this copy...
This is a great book but now that I've received The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde, I no longer need it.
From the back of the book:
"COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED
When the exquisitely handsome Dorian Gray sees his portrait he dreams of remaining young forever while his painted image grows old and, in a sudden moment, he offers his soul in return for perpetual youth. While his beauty remains unblemished, the portrait begins to reflect the wildness and degradation of his soul as he surrenders to a worship of pleasure and infinite passion.
The Picture of Dorian Gray caused outrage when it was first published in 1890 and marked the onset of Oscar Wilde's own fatal reputation and eventual downfall. An evocative portrayal of London life and a powerful blast against the hypocrisies of Victirian polite society it has become oneof Oscar Wilde's most celebrated works, full of the flamboyant wit for which he is justly renowned."
EDIT: This will be going to maarit as a part of the Project.

The book was found from the shelfs of the notorius Juho Kepanen in Hervanta. Hehad absolutely no intention to release the book back into the wild. It´s not that he was trying to be a bastard about it, he´s just too lazy to do anything about it. So there the book stayed for 2 years. And there it would be still, if it wasn´t for Maiju Karsikas from Keuruu, Finland, who discovered the peace and took it under her wings. Now it is read by both of them and left in Graz, Austria, where it is to be read by Joonas Keränen. Come to think of it, it was actually Joonas, whose self the book was in in the first place. See, he and Mr. Kepanen used to be room mates. So it is relative possible that Dorian´s whereabouts won´t change too much in the coming months. We´ll see.
