El Mago de Oz
by L. Frank BaumLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «Es un buen mago. Si es un hombre o no, es cosa que ya no puedo decirte, porque nunca le he visto.» Arrancada de su hogar en Kansas por un huracán, la pequeña Dorothy aterriza en un mundo desconocido. Comienza así una travesía junto a su perro Toto en busca de la única persona capaz de devolverlos a casa: el Mago de Oz. Durante el viaje hasta Ciudad Esmeralda, donde el hombre vive, se enfrentarán a un sinfín de obstáculos y peligros, pero contarán también con inestimables aliados: un espantapájaros sin cerebro, un león sin coraje y un hombre de hojalata sin corazón. Más de un siglo después de su publicación, la magia de L. Frank Baum se despliega ante nosotros como si el tiempo apenas hubiera transcurrido. Con la iluminadora introducción del profesor y estudioso Jack Zipes y las ilustraciones que han acompañado a la novela desde sus inicios, esta edición rinde homenaje a una de las aventuras más entrañables de todos los tiempos. Ray Bradbury dijo...«L. Frank Baum ha llenado nuestro siglo, de principio a fin, de ingenuos gozos e insospechados deleites.»
