The publisher even subjected the original to cuts, deeming some passages \"indecent.\" The celebrated Irish writer revised this version, excluding some passages, and added a preface and seven chapters. In doing so, he sought to highlight some themes—such as the tension between social classes in the Victorian era—and disguise others—such as the \"libertine\" homoerotic innuendos. The story was released as a book in 1891. Even after Wilde made changes, seeking a more measured tone, he and the work were labeled \"immoral.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn these pages, artist Basil Hallward, the young and handsome Dorian Gray, and his mentor, Lord Henry Wotton, guide readers through the pleasures of body and spirit, proposing reflections on the limits of hedonism. The scenes and dialogues reveal Oscar Wilde's own genius—at times paradoxical—who never shied away from imprinting his personal qualities on the characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e To explore contemporary emotions through this classic, Editora Civilização Brasileira presents, in this special edition, previously unpublished texts by Fabio Akcelrud Durão, professor of literary theory at Unicamp, and João Silvério Trevisan, award-winning writer and LGBTQIA+ activist.
