Sinossi
Viaggi fino alla fine del mondo, creature fantastiche, epiche battaglie tra il bene e il male: cosa avrebbe potuto aspettarsi di più un lettore? Scritto nel 1949 da C.S. Lewis, "Il leone, la strega e l'armadio" inaugurò la serie dei sette volumi che sarebbero divenuti celebri come "Le Cronache di Narnia". Un capolavoro che trascende il genere fantasy, ormai riconosciuto tra i classici della letteratura inglese del Novecento. C.S. Lewis lo scrisse con la dichiarata intenzione di rivolgersi ai bambini, ma non solo a loro. Era convinto, infatti, che "un libro non merita di essere letto a dieci anni se non merita di essere letto anche a cinquanta". Un'incredibile girandola di personaggi (fauni, ninfe, streghe, animali parlanti, eroici guerrieri), per il ritmo incalzante dell'avventura, ma anche per l'insolito spessore che tradisce l'immensa cultura di un autentico scrittore, noto medievalista dell'Università di Oxford, capace di attingere dalla vasta letteratura inglese quanto dalle allegorie dantesche. La presente edizione offre al pubblico italiano il testo integrale delle "Cronache di Narnia" in un unico volume, con una traduzione completamente aggiornata e con un breve saggio in appendice, inedito in Italia, in cui Lewis stesso spiega cosa significhi per lui "scrivere per i bambini". Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

When the Lion/Witch/Wardrobe movie came out a while ago, some dude accosted me and said "Dude, the fucking right wing media is trying to say that the Narnia books are all about fucking Christianity!!!" No shit. I figured that out when I was 9. But who cares? If you can't enjoy these books at all, ther Leggi tutto
I love Narnia! Of course it's not perfect, but they are such wonderful stories, paving the way for so many other fantasy worlds that followed. Sure they've got the allegorical Christian background, and some of Lewis' wording and phrases wouldn't pass as politically correct now. But if you can look p Leggi tutto
I discovered The Chronicles of Narnia when I was six years old halfway through my first year of school. I had discovered the joys of our school library and I still remember the day and the exact shelf where I found The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was the lowest shelf, the one that rested on Leggi tutto
Quick review Terrific fantasy setting and storyline spoilt by extremely unsubtle allegory and (as the story progresses) excessive Christian preachiness. Warning: Racial stereotypes abound and may offend. Recommended for adults who thrive in a Christian religious environment or those who can overlo
Read this as a kid and re-read later on, these 7 books were a great form of escapism despite the somewhat overbearing Christian symbolism that is pervasive throughout. The movies did NOT to the books justice but the animated film about Lion, Witch and Wardrobe was actually OK. A must for kids.
I can't even begin to count how many times I've read "The Chronicles of Narnia." The truly amazing thing about these books is that each time you read them, they magically become more complex, more meaningful and more beautiful. I first read "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" when I was about sev Leggi tutto
The Magician's Nephew is easily the best story of the Chronicles. First of all, it's the least overtly religious. There is a creation-of-the-world element, but it's not our world so it seems more fantastic than religious. Not only is there a veil over the religiosity, there's so much creativity in t Leggi tutto
The 2005 film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was what made me want to read this thick, heavenly book. Little yet valiant Lucy was very close to my heart, as well as her siblings who occasionally thought she was crazy. I was so enthralled by the movie, and I asked my parents if t Leggi tutto
