Dorian Gray, a young man of wealth and stature in late 1800's London, meets Lord Henry Wotton while posing for a portrait by his friend Basil Hallward. Once the painting is complete, Dorian realizes that it will always be young and attractive, while he will be forced to age and wither with the years. Carelessly, he wishes the opposite were true. What happens is a treatise on morals, self-indulgence and how crucial personal responsibility is towards one's self. (Summary by John Gonzalez)
Customer Reviews
This is abridged
I found out too late that this is an abridged version, which is a shame because it is an incredible recording. The reader breathes life into every individual character, and it is truly a joy to listen to. If you aren’t in search of the full version, this is a wonderful listen.
Wonderful
Wonderful reading! However I’m not sure the chapter numbers are correct, although it probably depends on your copy. I think there are 20 chapters that have been combined into 13.
