Wicked Collector's Edition: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

內容簡介

內容簡介 《邪惡》（Wicked）是全球暢銷數百萬冊的經典小說，亦為由辛西婭·艾利沃 (Cynthia Erivo) 和亞莉安娜·格蘭德 (Ariana Grande) 主演的轟動電影之原著。此豪華精裝版特別收錄綠色染邊、絲帶書籤及精美燙金封面設計。格萊葛利．馬奎爾 (Gregory Maguire) 的《邪惡》在全球發行量已達數百萬冊，被譽為一部跨時代的評論作品，值得一再品讀。這部小說以 L. Frank Baum 1900 年經典作品《綠野仙蹤》為靈感，巧妙地顛覆我們對 1939 年 MGM 電影的集體記憶，重塑了奧茲國的面貌。馬奎爾以奔放的想像力，賦予了這個鮮為人知的世界全新的生命，使小說既節奏明快，又充滿奇幻現實感，帶來無與倫比的閱讀樂趣。故事發生在桃樂絲與小狗墜落奧茲國之前。另一位女孩——艾芙芭 (Elphaba)——誕生於此，並擁有祖母綠般的皮膚。在貧窮而冷酷的奧茲國，迷信與魔法無法解釋或抵禦洪水與飢荒，這樣的外貌成為她沉重的負擔。然而，艾芙芭聰穎過人，當她進入希茲大學時，成為奧茲國最有潛力的青年菁英之一。然而，艾芙芭的奧茲國並非烏托邦：巫師的秘密警察無處不在，擁有聲音與思想的動物 (Animals) 面臨驅逐的威脅。年輕的艾芙芭，綠皮膚、叛逆且被誤解，決心保護動物，即使這意味著要對抗神秘的巫師，甚至犧牲唯一的愛情機會。隨著罪惡與悲傷讓她逐漸成熟，她學會坦然面對「女巫」這一世界加諸於她的稱號，甚至迎接那位來自堪薩斯的年輕女孩。自首次出版以來，這部打破傳統的傑作已成為經典，並啟發了同名百老匯音樂劇——這部音樂劇至今仍是百老匯歷史上演出時間最長的劇目之一，名副其實地「風靡全球」。雖然這部小說在某種程度上與魔幻現實主義、神話奇幻及十九世紀道德史詩有淵源，但馬奎爾的《邪惡》依然獨樹一幟，正如他筆下那位綠皮膚的女巫一樣獨特非凡。The beloved multimillion-copy-bestselling novel and basis of the smash hit movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, in a deluxe hardback edition with green stained edges, a ribbon marker, and an elegant foil-stamped cover.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. 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 overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens.But 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 if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever 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. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

各界推薦

各界推薦 書評「一部傑出的奇幻之作。」— 《今日美國》 (USA Today)「當我第一次聽說《邪惡》這本書時，我就知道格萊葛利．馬奎爾想出了天才的點子。這本書改變了許多人的生活，包括我自己。」— 史蒂芬·史瓦茲 (Stephen Schwartz)，《邪惡》音樂劇作曲家兼作詞家「馬奎爾做了一件真正非凡的事：他進入了一個由另一位作家創造的世界，將它擴展、深化，並賦予了全新的維度，最終創造出全然嶄新的東西。這是驚人的成就。」— 菲力普·普曼 (Philip Pullman)「聽著，芒奇金人們，停止歌唱和舞蹈吧。西方壞女巫不再死去。但別擔心，格萊葛利．馬奎爾構思精巧、文筆優美的首部小說《邪惡：西方壞女巫的生平與時代》不僅讓她復活，還重新想像並賦予她當代意義。」— 《新聞日報》 (Newsday)「這本非凡且令人難忘的小說核心是一個大膽且極具原創性的構想——只有擁有格萊葛利．馬奎爾這般智慧與勇氣的作家才能構思出來：西方壞女巫是個真實的女人，有她的名字與故事要講。當馬奎爾初次寫下它時，這已經十分激進，如今仍然如此，並擁有重新塑造我們世界觀的力量。」— 薇妮·霍茲曼 (Winnie Holzman)，《邪惡》音樂劇共同編劇「格萊葛利非常理解女性的複雜性與獨特性。」— 克莉絲汀·錢諾維斯 (Kristen Chenoweth)「在音樂劇的構想出現之前，我早已讀過《邪惡》。當時我深感欣慰，姐妹情誼終於踏上了黃磚路。當一位女巫——無論是綠色還是其他顏色——有機會講述自己的故事，而非被主流文化權威醜化與誤解時，會發生什麼事？我們女巫都知道那會怎樣！」— 荷莉·尼爾 (Holly Near)Review"An outstanding work of imagination." — USA Today“I knew that Gregory Maguire had come up with a genius idea the moment I heard about Wicked. It’s a book that has changed a lot of lives, including mine.” — Stephen Schwartz, composer and lyricist of Wicked: The Musical"Maguire did something truly remarkable with this novel, in managing to inhabit, enlarge, deepen and find new dimensions in a world that had been invented by another writer, and in doing so make something entirely new. It’s an astonishing achievement." — Philip Pullman“Listen up, Munchkins. Stop your singing, stop the dancing. The Wicked Witch is no longer dead. But not to worry. Gregory Maguire’s shrewdly imagined and beautifully written first novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, not only revives her but re-envisions and redeems her for our times.” — Newsday“At the heart of this remarkable, unforgettable novel is a wildly original premise—one that only a writer with Gregory Maguire’s intellect and daring could have dreamed up: that the Wicked Witch of the West was a real woman, with an actual name, and her own story to tell. It was radical when Gregory first wrote it, and remains radical. It has the power to reshape one’s view of the world.” — Winnie Holzman, co-writer of Wicked: The Musical"Gregory gets the complications and uniqueness of women very well." — Kristen Chenoweth“Long before there was any thought of a musical, I read Wicked. I felt a quiet joy that sisterhood had made its way to the Yellow Brick Road. What happens when a witch, green or otherwise, gets to tell her own story instead of being vilified and misrepresented by dominant cultural authority? We witches know how that turns out!” — Holly Near
