Peter y Wendy: Edicion Del Centenario (Coleccion Cuentos Universales)
by J. M. BarrieLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «Todos los niños crecen, menos uno.» Poco imaginaba J.M. Barrie cuando escribió la obra de teatro Peter Pan que un siglo más tarde el mito del niño que no quería crecer seguiría cautivando a jóvenes y mayores por igual. Publicada años más tarde como novela bajo el título de Peter y Wendy, su universo es omnipresente en el imaginario colectivo. Barrie apela a nuestros sueños de infancia con una dulzura y un genio imaginativo capaces de llevarnos de la risa al llanto en pocas páginas. La vida del autor, marcada por la muerte de su hermano, está presente en todo momento. Él mismo confesaría que su más profundo deseo hubiera sido recuperar los años felices de su infancia, y que su más célebre personaje era una personificación de tales anhelos. Esta cuidada edición introducida y anotada por Silvia Herreros de Tejada, especialista en J.M. Barrie, es la mejor oportunidad para dejarse llevar por la fantasía del país de Nunca Jamás.
