eBooks di Lyman Frank Baum editi da Jacopo Gorini

Lyman Frank Baum nacque a Chittenango, negli Stati Uniti, il 15 maggio del 1856. Settimo di nove fratelli e figlio di un ricchissimo uomo d’affari, Baum era un profondo amante della letteratura e della scrittura e pur di dedicarsi alle sue passioni si adattò a svolgere i lavori più diversi, dal venditore di porcellane all’avicoltore. La sua produzione letteraria è comunque cospicua: dapprima scrisse poesie e filastrocche, raccolte in due volumi distinti, poi insieme a W.W. Denslow diede vita al romanzo Il meraviglioso Mago di Oz, che ebbe un successo tale da farlo diventare il libro più venduto negli Stati Uniti per due anni di seguito.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Book and Audiobook in English. E-book. Formato EPUB Lyman Frank Baum   -  Jacopo Gorini, 2017  - 

With 120 pictures by W. W. Denslow. "Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident. Having this thought in mind, the story of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out. L. Frank Baum  Chicago, April, 1900."
