Since its first publication in 1900, \u003cb\u003eL. Frank Baum\u003c\/b\u003e's story of a little girl carried away by a tornado to the strange and beautiful Land of Oz has had an extraordinary emotional impact on wide-eyed readers young and old.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As Dorothy journeys down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, hoping the Great and Terrible Wizard who lives there will help her return home, she shares adventures with the famous trio of characters, defeats a wicked witch, and learns about the power of friendship, loyalty, and self-confidence. While scholars have debated for decades over possible political meanings hidden within the tale, Baum himself claimed he simply wanted to write a \"modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.\" As it has done for generations past, this classic of fantasy adventure speaks movingly about what every child needs: the Woodman's compassion, the Lion's courage, and the Scarecrow's wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWith original illustrations by William Wallace Denslow.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJ.

T. Barbarese, offers engagingly plainspoken and informed essays on American poetry from Edgar Allan Poe to the present, written by a poet with long experience in the classroom. The collection discusses writers as divergent as Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound, Hart Crane and A. R. Ammons, Gerald Stern and John Prine. It includes a separate section of essays examining the craft of translation with attention to specific works translated from ancient Greek, Italian, and modern French. \t  \t  \tA distinguishing feature of the book is that it is informed by literary theory but independent of any particular critical modality. Barbarese writes about literature for a general audience, particularly readers with wide tastes interested in engaging with literary art. His essays are the outcome of deeply reading and internalizing work he has known, studied, and admired over the course of a long career of publishing, teaching, and public lecturing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51770032849169,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51770033013009,"sku":"NGR9780807185087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522545807633,"sku":"NLS9780807185087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52725036384529,"sku":"NIN9780807185087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780807185087.jpg?v=1759572069"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-j-t-barbarese.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
