"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a classic children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a young girl named Dorothy, who lives on the Kansas prairies and is whisked away to the magical Land of Oz by a cyclone. Dorothy embarks on an adventure to find her way back home, encountering unique characters along the way, such as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, each seeking something from the elusive wizard, Oz. The opening of the novel introduces Dorothy's life in Kansas, her loving but weary aunt and uncle, and a perilous cyclone that transports her to Oz. There, she discovers that her house has accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of the East, freeing the Munchkin people. In her quest to return home, she learns that she must seek the Great Oz in the Emerald City. As she sets off along the Yellow Brick Road, she meets the Scarecrow, who wishes for brains, and the Tin Woodman, who longs for a heart, highlighting key themes of friendship, courage, and the quest for self-discovery. With a blend of adventure and whimsy, this opening sets the stage for a journey filled with fantastical encounters and valuable life lessons.
작가 소개
Lyman Frank Baum (1856 ~1919) was an American author best known for his children's fantasy books, particularly The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, part of a series. In addition to the 14 Oz books, Baum penned 41 other novels (not including four lost, unpublished novels), 83 short stories, over 200 poems, and at least 42 scripts. He made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen; the 1939 adaptation of the first Oz book became a landmark of 20th-century cinema.
Born and raised in Chittenango, New York, Baum moved west after an unsuccessful stint as a theater producer and playwright. He and his wife opened a store in South Dakota and he edited and published a newspaper. They then moved to Chicago, where he worked as a newspaper reporter and published children's literature, coming out with the first Oz book in 1900. While continuing his writing, among his final projects he sought to establish a film studio in Los Angeles, California.
On May 5, 1919, Baum suffered a stroke, slipped into a coma and died the following day, nine days before his 63rd birthday. His last words were spoken to his wife during a brief period of lucidity: "Now we can cross the Shifting Sands."He was buried in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery.
