The Picture of Dorian Gray / Le portrait de Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde

Édition bilingue

The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of Oscar Wilde’s most enduring and widely read literary works. Inspired by gothic horror fiction, French decadent literature, and contemporary aesthetic theory, the novel incited a storm of controversy in the late nineteenth century for its moral ambivalence and hidden references to queer sexuality.

Now available in a bilingual edition, with English and French side by side. The perfect way to learn French – by reading the French translation with Oscar Wilde’s charming original text right by side to guide you in case you need help. It makes it very suitable for learning both French and English.

Parallel texts are a very useful and versatile tool in the language learning process. It’s one of the best ways to experience the original text and authentic linguistic environment even for the less confident readers because the help is just a glance away to check the other language. The parallel text also facilitates access to more challenging texts for the language learner.
