The Wonderful Wizard of OzThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the classic American children's novel about the adventures of Dorothy, a young girl who along with her dog Toto is swept away by a cyclone to the magical Land of Oz. It was written by L. Frank Baum and published in May 1900. Dorothy lives with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and Toto on a farm in the Kansas prairie. One day, Dorothy and Toto are caught up in a cyclone that deposits her farmhouse into Munchkin Country in the magical Land of Oz. The falling house has killed the Wicked Witch of the East, the evil ruler of the Munchkins. The Good Witch of the North arrives with three grateful Munchkins and gives Dorothy the magical Silver Shoes that once belonged to the Wicked Witch. The Good Witch tells Dorothy that the only way she can return home is to go to the Emerald City and ask the great and powerful Wizard of Oz to help her. The Library of Congress has declared it "America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy-tale." Its groundbreaking success and the success of the Broadway musical adaptation led Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books which serve as sequels to the first story. The 1939 film musical adaptation starring Judy Garland is considered by many to be one of the greatest films in cinema history.about the author: Lyman Frank Baum was an American author chiefly famous for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its sequels. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, plus 41 other novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and the nascent medium of film the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book would become a landmark of 20th-century cinema. His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high-risk and action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).Baum made use of several pseudonyms for some of his other non-Oz books. They include: Edith Van Dyne (the Aunt Jane's Nieces series)Laura Bancroft (The Twinkle Tales, Policeman Bluejay)Floyd Akers (The Boy Fortune Hunters series, continuing the Sam Steele series)Suzanne Metcalf (Annabel)Schuyler Staunton (The Fate of a Crown, Daughters of Destiny)John Estes Cooke (Tamawaca Folks)Capt.

Notă biografică

Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919), better known by his pen name L. Frank Baum, was an American author chiefly known for his children's books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost works", 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts and many miscellaneous writings) His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country) and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).

Recenzii

L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz first appeared in print in September 1900 and has since become a classic in the world of children’s literature. Often described as America’s first original fairy tale, it has helped establish a fantasy tradition in American literature. Dorothy Gale, the central character in the novel, is one of the first female characters in American literature to go on a quest, and this aspect of the novel adds to its contemporary relevance and appeal.
This Broadview Edition provides primary source documents that help shed light on Baum’s inspirations, his contemporaries, his thoughts on writing, and reviews from the novel’s first release. The edition also includes an introduction, original annotations, a chronology of Baum’s life, and a comprehensive bibliography. All of William Wallace Denslow’s in-text illustrations are included in black and white, and the original color plates are reproduced in color inserts.

“Mark West and Dina Schiff Massachi’s elegant edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz makes the most classic of American fairy tales accessible to both the young and those who once were, while also providing significant apparatus for students and scholars. The Introduction provides helpful insights into the complexities of Baum’s work, and the annotations elucidate both historical fact and scholarly opinion. This volume is a significant contribution to the study of Oz and a must-have edition for libraries, collectors, literary critics—and for all who love Oz.” — Roberta Trites, Illinois State University
“Together, West and Massachi have nearly fifty years’ experience teaching The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and they’ve channeled their expertise into this welcome volume. Contexts demonstrate how the novel is shaped by and is an homage to the works of Perrault, the Grimms, and Andersen, among others. Biographical underpinnings are revealed through the editors’ introduction and their attention to the writings of Matilda Joslyn Gage, a leading nineteenth-century feminist and Baum’s admired mother-in-law. This is a well-rounded collection, with resources sure to lead to substantive discussion.” — Anne Phillips, Kansas State University
“The Broadview Edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is itself ‘wonderful.’ I appreciate the carefully edited text (taken from the first edition), inclusion of black and white versions of W.W. Denslow’s original illustrations (which, as Baum intended, are superimposed over the text), and the excellent annotations that draw from a variety of critical sources. I am happy to report that unlike the wizard of Baum’s book, this edition is no ‘humbug.’” — Joel Chaston, Missouri State University

Textul de pe ultima copertă

One of the true classics of American literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four generations. Originally published in 1900, it was the first truly American fairy tale, as Baum crafted a wonderful fantasy out of such familiar items as a cornfield scarecrow, a mechanical woodman, and a humbug wizard who used old-fashioned hokum to express that universal theme, "There′s no place like home."
Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their Kansas house is swept away by a cyclone and they find themselves in a strange land called Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where lives the all-powerful Wizard of Oz.
This lavishly produced facsimile of the rare first edition contains all 24 of W.W. Denslow′s original colour plates, the colourful pictorial binding, and the 130 two-colour illustrations that help make The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so special and enduring.
