Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Cuando Dorothy triunfó sobre la Malvada Bruja del Oeste en el cuento clásico de L. Frank Baum, solo supimos su lado de la historia. ¿Pero qué de su enemiga primordial, la misteriosa bruja? ¿De dónde vino? ¿Qué fue lo que la volvió tan mala? ¿Cuál es la verdadera naturaleza de la maldad?

Gregory Maguire crea un mundo de fantasía tan rebosante y vívido que nunca veremos a Oz de la misma manera. Wicked describe una tierra en donde los animales hablan y aspiran a ser tratados como los ciudadanos de clase alta, los munchkins buscan la comodidad y estabilidad de la clase media y el Hombre de Hojalata se convierte en víctima de la violencia doméstica. Luego tenemos a la niña de piel verde llamada Elphaba — quien crecerá y se convertirá en la famosa Malvada Bruja del Oeste — una criatura inteligente, espinosa y malentendida que desafía todas nuestras nociones preconcebidas sobre la naturaleza del bien y el mal.
