Le cronache di Narnia. Ediz. integrale

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

The 2005 film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was what made me want to read this thick, heavenly book.
