Wicked - Wicked Years, Bk 1 - Spanish Edition
Author: Gregory Maguire, Claudia Conde (Translator)

Memorias de una Bruja Mala — Cuando Dorothy triunfo sobre la Malvada Bruja del Oeste en el cuento clasico de L. Frank Baum, solo supimos su lado de la historia. Pero que de su enemiga primordial, la misteriosa bruja? De donde vino? Que fue lo que la volvio tan mala? Cual es la verdadera naturaleza de la maldad? — Gregory Maguire ... more »crea un mundo de fantasia tan rebosante y vivido 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 victima de la violencia domestica. Luego tenemos a la nina de piel verde llamada Elphaba--quien crecera y se convertira en la famosa Malvada Bruja del Oeste--una criatura inteligente, espinosa y malentendida que desafia todas nuestras nociones preconcebidas sobre la naturaleza del bien y el mal.

Traduccion de Claudia Conde

Following the traditions of Gabriel GarcÍa Marquez, John Gardner and J.R.R. Tolkien, Wicked is a richly woven tale that takes us to the other, darker side of the rainbow as novelist Gregory Maguire chronicles the Wicked Witch of the West's odyssey through the complex world of Oz -- where people call you wicked if you tell the truth.

Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin -- no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or to overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. But Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters the university in Shiz, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz' most promising young citizens.

Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals -- those creatures with voices, souls and minds -- are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals -- even it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Even wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.

In Wicked, Gregory Maguire has taken the largely unknown world of Oz and populated it with the power of his own imagination. Fast-paced, fantastically real and supremely entertaining, this is a novel of vision and re-vision. Oz never will be the same again.
