De tovenaar van Oz (1900)

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.

The following quote made me laugh:

"He is my dog, Toto," answered Dorothy.
"Is he made of tin, or stuffed?" asked the Lion.
"Neither. He's a-- a-- a meat dog," said the girl.

I enjoyed the wordplay slipped in inconspicuously ("bran-new brain"). The scene at the end with the china-people was amusing, too. Overall I enjoyed this book. ( )

i loved this book as a child in primary school the library had a beautiful old hard cover version of this book. I would get this book out as often as i could and read it over and over. ( )

This was just meh. I've been ruined be certain movie versions (and I don'tmean the Judy Garland version.) The story just didn't hit me they way I wanted it to. ( )

Era da parecchio che volevo trovare il tempo di leggere la versione integrale di questo libro che ha segnato l'infanzia mia come quella di un mondo intero di persone.
Vorrei poter recuperare gli altri "episodi" delle avventure di Oz prima o poi! ( )
