Čarobnjak iz Oza

Čarobnjak iz Oza

Lyman Frank Baum

To return home, Dorothy sets off on a journey to the Emerald City, home to the powerful Wizard of Oz, the only one she believes can help her. She is joined on this journey by three unusual friends: the Scarecrow who wants a brain, the Tin Woodman who wants a heart, and the Cowardly Lion who longs for courage. Each of them believes that the Wizard can give them what they lack. Together, they go through various trials and obstacles, and along the way they learn an important life lesson - that what they are looking for is already within them.

When they finally reach the Emerald City, they discover that the Wizard is not a miraculous being, but an ordinary man who uses tricks and illusions to create the illusion of power. However, with his help, each of the heroes comes to self-knowledge. Dorothy, with the help of magic shoes, manages to find her way home, realizing that there is "nowhere like home".

“The Wizard of Oz” is a beautiful story, and the author himself classified it as a modern fairy tale. We must immediately keep in mind that the adjective modern in this context fits this fairy tale very well, because even though more than a hundred years have passed since its publication, it still proudly retains that adjective. Namely, when it was published, it was already different in many ways from the fairy tales written by the authors of that time, the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault.

When he wrote the fairy tale, the author believed that modern times were looking for some new magical stories that would delight children and that would not involve ghosts, fairies, or any other scary events. He wanted to entertain children and keep the joy in them at all times, leaving out the sadness. He also stated this in the preface to the book “The Wizard of Oz”.
