From Amazon.co.uk

A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged 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."

As Hallward tries to make sense of his creation, his epigram-happy friend Lord Henry Wotton encourages Dorian in his sensual quest with any number of Wildean paradoxes, including the delightful "When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." But despite its many languorous pleasures, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an imperfect work. Compared to the two (voyeuristic) older men, Dorian is a bore, and his search for ever new sensations far less fun than the novel's drawing-room discussions. Even more oddly, the moral message of the novel contradicts many of Wilde's supposed aims, not least "no artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." Nonetheless, the glamour boy gets his just deserts. And Wilde, defending Dorian Gray, had it both ways: "All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings its own punishment."

Kurzbeschreibung

Kurzbeschreibung

For Sam, coming of age in Hawaii, the most isolated landmass on earth, is almost impossible. He is 15, sensitive, cool, cute, blue-haired, a skateboarder, precocious, funny, horny, honest, and gay. He?s not interested in surfing, but he?s passionate about punk rock music and haiku poetry.

Sam?s object of affection is Clay. He is an 18-year-old surfer who?s handsome, enigmatic, complicated, passionate, funny, confident, charismatic, serious, sexy, and confused. He likes Sam, too, but isn?t brave enough to admit it.

As Sam attempts to grow up and realize his love for Clay, both boys face the hardest decisions and obstacles of their lives: a brutal hurricane during a drunken evening with Clay?s mother, Susan, a hippie and Joni Mitchell aficionado, a misty hike along the steep emerald cliffs of Kauai?s north shore, threatened by Hawaiian spirits, tumultuous betrayals, rival bands of surfers, misfired sex, violent collision, an angry car accident, Clay?s confused girlfriend, attempted suicide in monster midnight waves, desperate revival, evolving personalities, a native dream quest, personae theft, and a last-ditch Imperial declaration at a raucous teenage party.

Finally, when all appears lost, after Clay becomes strangely different and Sam takes on Clay?s personality, on a moonlit Halloween night, in the dark and echoey hall of a dark haunted house staged in an elementary school, Sam?s hopes could come true as a boy dressed as a wolf gives chase.

On the windward side of Oahu, below lush green cliffs, Sam inhabits a vast neighborhood of yearning. On the most remote landmass on earth, in suburban neighborhoods juxtaposed against dramatic cliffs and ancient culture, on jungle trails, and at remote beaches, Sam attempts to find his place in the world while trying to win Clay?s affection.

?Do you fall for every guy you meet in a public toilet??

Blackhall. A private boys school. A dumping ground for troubled youths and family problems. To date, the only fully-functional, above-ground educational facility on a newly colonised planet.

Clockworld certainly seemed like the perfect location on paper - a small, lush planetoid far from existing colonies, plentiful resources and solid land. It wasn?t until later that people realised all the native vegetation had hallucinogenic, psychotropic and other mind-altering properties. And it would be far too expensive to build again somewhere else.

***

?The jungle. The jungle is right outside. You walk twenty metres outside those gates and you?re in the middle of an alien planet.? Hathaway makes a small, nervous motion that?s not quite a shrug. ?No one else seems to notice.?

***

Josie, War, Aubrey and Ping are just your average students, riddled with psychosis and hormones. They?re stuck on Clockworld until another world sees fit to take them back. Between the love triangles, shuttle malfunctions, fighting, ghosts and confused romantic feelings they might not even have time to get really, really ridiculously high.
