书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书，托尼奖获奖音乐剧的改编，很快将被改编成由辛西娅·埃里沃和爱莉安娜·格兰德主演的大型电影。

格雷戈里·马奎尔的《魔法坏女魔》在全球发行了数百万册，不仅是对我们时代的评论，也是一部值得多年后重温的小说。《魔法坏女魔》借鉴了 L. 弗兰克·鲍姆 1900 年的小说《绿野仙踪》中的灵感，同时巧妙地利用了我们对 1939 年米高梅电影的集体记忆，该电影由玛格丽特·汉密尔顿（和朱迪·加兰）主演。在这部节奏快、真实感极强、极具娱乐性的小说中，马奎尔用自己的想象力填充了鲜为人知的奥兹世界。

在多萝西和她的狗坠毁的几年前，另一个小女孩在奥兹国露面。这个女孩，埃尔法巴，天生有着翠绿色的皮肤——在像奥兹国这样贫瘠的土地上，这绝非易事，迷信和魔法不足以解释或克服洪水和饥荒等自然灾害。不过，埃尔法巴很聪明，当她进入希兹大学时，她成为了奥兹国有前途的年轻人中的一员。

但埃尔法巴的奥兹国并不是乌托邦。魔师的秘密警察无处不在。动物——那些有声音、心灵和思想的生物——面临着流放的威胁。年轻的埃尔法巴，青涩、狂野、被误解，决心保护动物——即使这意味着要与神秘的魔师战斗，即使这意味着要冒着失去爱情的机会的风险。在内疚和悲伤中，她变得越来越聪明，当世界宣称她是女魔时，她会发现自己很感激。她甚至可以为那个来自堪萨斯州的年轻女孩感到高兴。

这部小说在出版时就被公认为一部反传统的杰作，并启发了同名音乐剧的创作——这是百老汇历史上上演时间颇长的戏剧之一。确实很受欢迎。但是，尽管这部小说的远亲来自魔幻现实主义、神话幻想和 19 世纪道德紧迫性传奇的传统，但马奎尔的《邪恶》就像它的绿皮肤女魔一样独特。

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

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 man 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 enchanter. 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 enchanter.
