The Picture of Dorian Gray
by
Oscar Wilde tells us the story of Dorian Gray, who was obsessed with beauty and youth. His narcissistic obsession with beauty made him trade his soul for eternal youth.
I think this is one of those few novels that was the topic of many Psychological studies. The morality aspect of this novel has been a topic of discussion for more than a century now. This is a book that the celebrities of our generation should undeniably read. It shows the plight of unnecessary obsession that will destroy our soul and conscience.
The philosophy in this novel will make you contemplate for a long time. This is one of those novels that you should never miss.

Interesting what you said about the mental health community! This one is on my TBR list; I just moved it up. Thanks for your review Dr. Appu!
Great Review, As we know most celebrities of today sell their soul to the devil, most are famous for having no talent whatsoever and very little intelligence. Need to read this along with many classics once I go to “Classic Mode”Well done Doc. 👏👏👏

You explained this novel perfectly.
I can’t wait to re-read this! I just picked up a beautiful copy. (Haha I just now realize how ironic that is). I read it first in high school but that was 30+ years ago. Great review! 🙂
