The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house.

When the superbly handsome Dorian Gray sees his portrait he makes a terrible wish: that portrait will grow older and that he will remain young forever. What happens to the portrait that no one ever sees? This disturbing story of a man who is willing to sell his soul for eternal youth while pursuing pleasure and passion, was first published in 1890. It is one of Oscar Wilde's most celebrated works.
