El maravilloso Mago de Oz

Por L. Frank Baum

Un ciclón azota Kansas y arrastra a Dorothy y a su perrito Toto a la mágica Tierra de Oz, donde las bestias salvajes hablan, los zapatos de plata tienen poderes fantásticos y las brujas buenas ofrecen protección con un simple beso. Pero también hay brujas malvadas y Dorothy se ha ganado la enemistad de una de ellas. En su camino conocerá al Espantapájaros, al Leñador de Hojalata y al León Cobarde, juntos afrontarán muchos peligros mientras llegan a la Ciudad Esmeralda, donde habita el Maravilloso Mago, para pedirle que les conceda lo que más desean… solo para descubrir que ya lo poseen. Publicado en los albores del siglo XX, El Maravilloso Mago de Oz cautivó a los pequeños y grandes lectores. Más de un siglo después de su publicación, renovamos el vigor de este clásico de ayer y hoy con una edición moderna, ilustraciones encantadoras y fieles al espíritu de la obra, y una traducción cuidadosa e íntegra.

L. Frank Baum

Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.
