Book Description
Peter Pan, the "boy who would not grow up," originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J.M. Barrie's sequence of stories, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. His later role as flying by hero was brought to the stage by Barrie in the beloved play Peter Pan, which opened in 1904 and became the novel Peter and Wendy in 1911. In a narrative filled with vivid characters, epic battles, pirates, fairies, and fantastic imagination, Peter Pan's adventures capture the spirit of childhood--and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society. This edition includes the novel and the stories, as well as an introduction by eminent scholar Jack Zipes. Looking at the man behind Peter Pan and sifting through the psychological interpretations that have engaged many a critic, Zipes explores the larger cultural and literary contexts in which we should appreciate Barrie's enduring creation and shows why Peter Pan is a work not for children but for adults seeking to reconnect with their own imagination.

La storia di Peter Pan è una storia che mi lega da un gruppo di amici dell'Università: una piccolo rivista ciclostilata e firmata dai protagonisti fantastici del racconto di Barrie.
Io, per la cronaca, ero il Capitano Giacomo Uncino - parmenideo, ossessionato da un coccodrillo che gli ricordava il passare del tempo.
Ora ho finalmente letto la storia originale. La nostra storia si è invece mischiata con altre storie. Pietro si è sposato con una fata turc(hin)a. Campanellino pure, ma con un pirata dello spazio - io lo sapevo che la sbarbina pendeva dalla parte giusta, nonostante tutto - e ora ha pure una bambina (mi auguro non troppo sperduta).
Dal canto mio sto per finire nella pancia non di un coccodrillo, ma di una balena (e Pinocchio non c'entra, o forse sì...).. I bambini sperduti, invece, non si arrendono e cercano disperatamente di tornare sull'isola che non c'è.
E ci sarebbero pure riusciti - per mille balene - se non fosse che la mappa disegnata da Deleuze è stramaledettamente confusa!
Is there a better children book than this one? I doubt it.
There are no words to say how much I love this book.

Oh, how much I wanted to be Wendy when I was a little girl!
Peter è la vocina interiore che ci spinge verso il cielo....
In inglese..
Sicuramente uno dei miei preferiti!
