Oscar Wilde's only novel, given a superbly splendid modern reading by the talented Rupert Graves. Many classic Wilde quotes emanate from this horror novel.(P)1993, 2002 CSA Telltapes Ltd. Classics

Critic reviews

"Dorian Gray, hedonistic and decadent, makes a Faustian pact to keep his youthful beauty as captured in his portrait. The story, lit by Wilde's aphoristic sparkle, is brilliant, as is Rupert Grave's finely judged narration." ( The Observer)

It's a classic for a reason, and the relatively short length means you could listen to it all over a single afternoon.

A fine narration

This was a very interesting listen. Pace was a little slow but overall enjoyable. Would recommend.

As I reread this book every year, and have read both the uncensored version and the non abridged version, I thought it was about time that I read (or rather listened) to the abridged version. Graves, who narrates the story, has a way of drawing the reader in, and his reading voice is strong and distinct, particularly when differentiating between characters and narration. The only thing I can fault with this audiobook is the overtly loud musical interludes.

Fantastic novel to take a look at. Narration is also great, easy to listen to. Overall brilliant!

Rupert Graves reads this beautifully but the musical interludes are bloody annoying. Otherwise I loved this.

Great performance, annoying recording
