| Summary |
"La Mirinda Sorĉisto de Oz" by L. Frank Baum is a classic children's novel written in the late 19th century. This enchanting tale follows a young girl named Dorothy who is whisked away by a cyclone from her home in Kansas to the magical land of Oz, where she embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious Wizard Oz. Along the way, she is joined by a group of unique characters, including a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodman, and a Cowardly Lion, each seeking something they believe they lack. The opening of the story introduces us to Dorothy and her life on a farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. As a cyclone approaches, Dorothy seeks shelter in a small cyclone cellar with her dog Toto but is soon caught up in the whirlwind and transported to Oz. Upon arriving, she discovers that her house has landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, freeing the Munchkins from her tyranny. The kind Witch of the North welcomes Dorothy and gives her the magical silver shoes once belonging to the defeated witch, suggesting that she follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to seek help from the Wizard Oz. Throughout this captivating beginning, Dorothy’s longing for home and her resilience in the face of new challenges are clearly established, setting the stage for her adventurous quest.
