The ​Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia 1.)

• Példány állapota: jó

The ​Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was published in 1950, and it was the book that first introduced readers to the World of Narnia. Years later, in 1955, Lewis wrote a prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, entitled The Magician’s Nephew. While The Magician’s Nephew was the sixth Narnia book to be written, many readers prefer to begin the series with The Magician’s Nephew.
From the Publisher

Narnia…the land beyond the wardrobe, the secret country known only to Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy…the place where the adventure begins.

Lucy is the first to find the secret of the wardrobe in the professor’s mysterious old house. At first, no one believes her when she tells of her adventure in the land of Narnia. But soon Edmund and then Peter and Susan discover the Magic and meet Aslan, the Great Lion, for themselves. In the blink of an eye, their lives are changes forever.

In this opening volume, Lewis „presents a world corrupted with powerful evil, full of dangerous temptations; humanity is seen as often weak and prone to erring ways,” David L. Russell explained, „but with the capacity for devotion and even heroism if guided by the unconditional love of the godhead.”
New York Times

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is, in turn, beautiful, frightening, wise.
Children’s Literature

Published nearly five decades ago, Lewis’ fantasy (which is part of The Chronicles of Narnia) has recently been reissued with new full color plates by the original illustrator. The deluxe edition with its large type on cream color pages will introduce kids to the captivating story of Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmund who step through the wardrobe into the magical land of Narnia. There, they battle against the evil White Witch and her minions and free Narnia from everlasting winter. The world with its talking creatures is entirely believable, as are the siblings who must overcome their own failings to become the heroes and heroines of Narnia. The color plates in muted tones, along with inset black and white illustrations throughout the text, make this book a real keepsake.
