Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his...

В книге представлена версия романа, написанная в 1891 году, состоящая из 20 глав. Это первый и единственный роман писателя, который произвёл огромный резонанс. Литературные критики требовали его запретить, однако большинство читателей приняли произведение с восторгом.
