Dorian Gray'ın Portresi

The Picture of Dorian Gray Book Description The Picture of Dorian Gray shocked both readers and critics when it was published and ensured that the name of Oscar Wilde was engraved in the history of literature. However, the text on which today's editions are based is the version of the book that was first published in Lippincotts Monthly Magazine and was censored first by the magazine editors and then by Wilde himself because it attracted reaction. In this edition, edited by Nicholas Frankel, the uncensored copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray delivered to the magazine in 1890 was taken as the basis and the work was enriched with explanatory notes. Thus, the story of Dorian Gray comes to life for the first time as Wilde originally imagined it, free from crude prunings made under the name of "correction" and "softened" expressions thought to be "immoral". Oscar Wilde said that he thought he was Basil Hallward in the novel and the world thought he was Lord Henry, but he wanted to be Dorian, and added, "Perhaps in other ages." The Portrait of Dorian Gray, the novel with which Wilde so identified with himself, who was persecuted in the age he lived in and was imprisoned for "moral disorder", finally appears before its readers in its original form and with Ülker İnce's competent translation.
