书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书《魔法坏女魔》的续集，《魔法坏女魔》是畅销数百万册的书籍，也是托尼奖获奖音乐剧的原型，很快将被改编成由辛西娅·埃里沃和爱莉安娜·格兰德主演的热门电影。

当她死去时——不是作为一个枯萎无能的老妇人，而是一个正值青春年华、激情和力量高峰的女人——太多的事情没有说出来。如果艾尔法巴还活着会发生什么？她为保护动物而展开的活动、她对正义的渴望、她对魔法本身的天赋，会有什么好处呢？如果每一次死亡都是一场悲剧，那么一个正值青春年华的女人的死亡将让全世界都感到悲痛。

格雷戈里·马奎尔回到了《魔法坏女魔》的世界和奥兹国，继续讲述李尔的故事，李尔是一个青春期的男孩，当多萝西在《魔法坏女魔》中被留在城堡的阴影里时，他就躲藏在城堡的阴影里。

她消失十年后，人们发现年轻人利尔伤痕累累、昏迷不醒，被遗弃在沟壑里等死。他精神和肉体都受到摧残，由神秘的弃儿蜡烛照料，直到他童年失败的征战终于结出意想不到的果实。

利尔只是埃尔法巴留下的世界的一部分。作为一个十几岁的男孩，他被要求以他可能不擅长的方式帮助有需要的人。他是埃尔法巴的儿子吗？他有自己的力量吗？他能解救纳斯托亚公主，让她有尊严地死去吗？他能找到他所谓的同父异母的妹妹诺尔吗？诺尔最后一次出现时，戴着镣铐，受到魔师的保护？他能在西方邪恶女魔死后没有多大改善的奥兹国生存下来吗？他能学会飞翔吗？

在本书中，格雷戈里·马奎尔认为，我们在像奥兹国这样遥远而不可思议的地方发现的魔力，并不比任何充实过着艰苦生活的人所固有的魔力更伟大，不管这个人是否是女魔之子。

The New York Times bestselling sequel to Wicked, the multimillion-copy bestseller and basis for the Tony Award–winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

When shedies—not as a crone, withered and incapable, but as a woman in her prime, at the height of her passion and prowess—too much is left unsaid. What might have happened had Elphaba lived? Of her campaigns in defense of the Animals, of her appetite for justice, of her talent for magic itself, what good might have come? If every death is a tragedy, the death of a woman in her prime keenly bereaves the whole world.

Gregory Maguire returns to the world of Wicked and the land of Oz to follow the story of Liir, the adolescent boy left hiding in the shadows of the castle when Dorothy did in it.

A decade after shehas melted away, the young man Liir is discovered bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully. Shattered in spirit as well as in form, he is tended by the mysterious Candle, a foundling in her own right, until failed campaigns of his young life bear late, unexpected fruit.

Liir is only one part of the world that Elphaba left behind. As a boy hardly in his teens, he is asked to help the needy in ways in which he may be unskilled. Is he Elphaba’s son? Has he power of his own? Can he liberate Princess Nastoya into a dignified death? Can he locate his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in shackles in the Wizard’s protection? Can he survive in an Oz little improved since the death of the Wicked Enchanter of the West? Can he learn to fly?

In this book, Gregory Maguire suggests that the magic we locate in distant, improbable places like Oz is no greater than the magic inherent in any hard life lived fully, son of a enchanter or no.
