O Mágico de Oz

Rate this book
Quando a pequena Dorothy ficou órfã, foi morar num longínquo recanto em uma das grandes planícies cinzentas do Kansas com o Tio Henry e a Tia Em. Da porta da humilde casa, Dorothy só via a triste natureza que se estendia até o horizonte, sem uma casa, sem uma só vila. Até que um dia, um terrível ciclone fez a casa rodopiar, subindo devagarzinho no ar como se fosse um balão, levando a menina e seu cãozinho Totó a quilômetros de distância até o maravilhoso Reino de Oz, um cenário fabuloso de cores e sonhos. Mas, mesmo assim, tudo o que Dorothy queria era voltar para casa. Encontrando então o povo do Leste - pequenos anões a quem ajudara a libertar da malvada bruxa -, é aconselhada a seguir a estrada das pedras amarelas até a Cidade das Esmeraldas, onde o grande Mágico lhe concederia qualquer pedido. No caminho, encontra um espantalho sem cérebro, um leão covarde e um homem de lata que quer um coração. Juntos, os quatro amigos partem em busca de seus mais profundos desejos e vivem incríveis aventuras em um mundo fantástico, repleto de imaginação.

Reeditado sem interrupções desde sua publicação em 1900, O mágico de Oz já foi lido por milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. A simplicidade de sua linguagem, a narrativa cheia de vivacidade e o esplendor da fantasia explicam o fascínio dessa obra que já faz parte da rara e privilegiada categoria de livros destinados à imortalidade.
