Everything in the world revolves around just him. Or does it? A moral fable on delusions of self-importance. First published 1888 in The Happy Prince and Other Tales.

Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man, sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty after viewing a picture of himself drawn by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian Gray's picture grows old and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife," Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."

Dorian Gray è un ragazzo bello, virtuoso e amabile come nessun altro giovane. Il pittore Basil Hallward, che nutre verso Dorian forti sentimenti, sta dipingendo con maestria il ritratto del giovane. Nello studio dell’artista si trova anche Lord Henry Wotton, sofisticato e cinico. Il nobile persuade a poco a poco Dorian dell’importanza della bellezza, un valore prezioso e assoluto che il tempo corrompe. Un’insana ossessione si impadronisce del ragazzo, che vorrebbe restare per sempre bello come nel ritratto.

Once upon a time, two poor woodcutters were making their way home through a great pine forest. It was winter and a night of bitter cold. The snow lay thick upon the ground and upon the branches of the trees; the frost kept snapping the little twigs on either side of them as they passed; and when they came to the Mountain Torrent, she was hanging motionless in air, for the Ice King had kissed her.

Little Hans spends most of his time gardening and makes a living from sales of his beautiful flowers. Little Hans always treats his neighbours well and even allows the neighbouring rich miller to pick flowers from his garden. But the miller rarely invites Hans into his house or responds in kind. The miller instead has his own philosophy of friendship: 'Lots of people act well, but very few people talk well, which shows that talking is much the more difficult thing of the two, and much the finer thing also'.
