안녕하세요, 저는 Finn입니다. 이 책을 이해할 수 있도록 도와드릴게요.
10살 아이에게 설명하듯 말하면 이렇습니다:
회오리바람이 Dorothy의 집을 Oz의 나라에 떨어뜨리고, 그녀는 Kansas 집으로 돌아갈 방법을 위대한 마법사에게 묻기 위해 노란 벽돌 길을 따라가요. 가는 길에 뇌를 원하는 허수아비, 심장을 원하는 양철 나무꾼, 용기를 원하는 사자가 동료가 되는데, 셋 다 자기가 원하는 것을 이미 자기가 생각하는 것보다 훨씬 많이 갖고 있어요.
책 전체는 영어로 읽습니다. 모든 장은 여기 있습니다:
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as “historical” in the children’s library; for the time has come for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and bloodcurdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
Having this thought in mind, the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.
