À propos de ce contenu audio

 Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Elphaba is born with green skin, a precocious mind, and a talent for magic. An outcast throughout her childhood in Munchkinland, she finally begins to feel as though she fits in when she enters the University in the Emerald City. While she hones her skills, she discovers that Oz isn't the Utopia it seems. She sets out to protect its unwanted creatures, becoming known as the Wicked Witch along the way.

Narrator John McDonough draws you in to Maguire's magical world of witches and talking animals, making it possible to believe in a land somewhere over the rainbow.

    "A staggering feat of wordcraft." (Los Angeles Times)
    "McDonough's excellent portrayals of Elphaba's outspoken, gravel-voiced nanny, Glinda's snobbish friends, and the wide-eyed, soft-spoken Dorothy make this excursion to Oz worthwhile." (Publishers Weekly)

    I don't know if I want to see the movie now, I'm sure I'll be disappointed as I loved the book.

    How contemporary this is

    The story is really interesting but I really don't like the voice actor. His voice is really tiring to listen to...

    I enjoyed a lot the story, the situations, the dialogues, the unexpected turns and the humour. I was expecting a bit to have music but it is more like your old grandfather was reading you a fantastic world story and he makes you consider if you would side with the young Witch defending the Animals or with the Wizard who seem to allow their mistreatments, which, I think, is quite comparable to our modern world issues still.

    So that is what happened with the Witch!
