《綠野仙蹤》是美國作傢弗蘭剋·鮑姆的代錶作。1970年被列為20世紀世界十五大暢銷書之一。它已經被翻譯為多種語言。《綠野仙蹤》又翻譯為《綠野尋仙記》，它講述的是小女孩多露茜的曆險故事。多露茜聰明、善良、勇敢，她被龍捲風吹到瞭另一個地方，在那裏，她結識瞭獅子、稻草人和鐵皮人等小夥伴，他們都有自己的優點和缺點，在曆險的過程中，多露茜幫助他們改掉瞭自己的缺點。故事情節跌宕起伏、麯摺動人，使本書成為各國兒童喜歡的現代童話故事之一，足以與安徒生童話和格林童話媲美。
《綠野仙蹤》發錶後，在讀者中引起瞭巨大反響，紛紛要求作者繼續為他們寫齣更好的作品，於是鮑姆又陸續創作瞭十三部續集，其中《奧芝仙境》是續集中的佳作。本書收錄瞭他的《綠野仙蹤》和《奧芝仙境》兩部作品。《奧芝仙境》講述的是小男孩蒂普的曆險記，他與稻草人、鐵皮人、南瓜人、鋸木馬曆經種種艱難險阻，在曆險中他們運用聰明纔智與壞女巫鬥智鬥勇，在格林達女王的幫助下，取得瞭勝利，蒂普也成為翡翠國的女王——原來是壞女巫將他變成男孩，實際上他是翡翠王國的公主——奧芝瑪。

Chapter 1
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cooking stove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellar-except a small hole, dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap-door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeksand lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled, now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
To-day, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the door-step and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife; "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
"Quick, Dorothy!" she screamed; "run for the cellar!"
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap-door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last, and started to follow her aunt. When she was half way across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
A strange thing then happened.
The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.
The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.
Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.
Once Toto got too near the open trap-door, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him. But soon she saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strong pressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall. She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again; afterward closing the trap-door so that no more accidents could happen.
Hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely, and the wind shrieked so loudly all about her that she nearly became deaf. At first she had wondered if she would be dashed to pieces when the house fell again; but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring. At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

用戶評價
這本書的整體閱讀體驗，帶給我一種久違的、全身心投入的沉浸感。我發現自己幾乎是連夜讀完的，完全被那種綫性敘事的張力和不斷齣現的“為什麼會這樣？”的好奇心所驅使。故事情節的推進巧妙地設置瞭層層遞進的挑戰，每一個挑戰都精準地對應著主角需要解決的內心睏境，使得冒險的意義不再僅僅是抵達目的地，更是自我完善的過程。而且，書中那些充滿象徵意義的元素——比如黃磚路、會說話的動物、施展法術的巫師——它們在不同的生命階段被賦予不同的解讀，這讓這本書具備瞭驚人的“復讀價值”。每一次重溫，都會因為自己心境的變化，而對某個角色或某個場景産生全新的理解，仿佛和這本書一起成長瞭。這種能夠跨越年齡界限，持續提供新鮮感和思考深度的作品，是真正的經典。
評分這本書的文字敘述方式，有一種魔力，它像是一位經驗豐富的老者，坐在搖曳的爐火旁，用那種慢悠悠、充滿畫麵感的語調，娓娓道來一個關於勇氣、智慧和傢的故事。作者的遣詞造句非常考究，沒有使用太多生僻或晦澀的詞匯，卻能精準地描繪齣各種奇特的場景和人物的內心波動。讀起來的節奏感極佳，高潮迭起的部分，筆觸會自然加快，讓人心跳加速，而那些描述田園風光或心靈成長的段落，又會讓人不自覺地放慢速度，細細品味其中的哲理。我尤其欣賞那種不經意的幽默感，它不是那種刻意的笑料，而是從角色真實的反應和處境中自然流露齣來的，讓人會心一笑。這種文字魅力，使得即便是已經知道大緻情節的成年人，重新閱讀時，依然能從中挖掘齣新的感悟，這纔是真正經得起時間考驗的文學作品。
評分這本書的裝幀設計真的太棒瞭，拿到手裏沉甸甸的，紙張的質感摸起來很舒服，不是那種廉價的、一翻就捲邊的感覺。封麵設計充滿瞭復古的油畫風，色彩搭配得恰到好處，那種帶著一絲懷舊感的金色和綠色交織在一起，讓人立刻就能聯想到那個充滿奇幻色彩的奧茲國。我特彆喜歡那種細節處理，比如字體選擇，既保持瞭經典的氣息，又不會讓人覺得過於老舊難以閱讀。內頁的排版也做得相當用心，行距和字號都非常適中，即便是長時間閱讀也不會感到眼睛疲勞。作為一個收藏者，我會把這本書放在書架最顯眼的位置，它不僅僅是一本可以閱讀的書，更像是一件精美的藝術品，展示瞭齣版商在細節上的極緻追求。而且，這種精裝本拿在手裏，總會讓人對閱讀本身産生一種儀式感，感覺自己正在開啓一段莊重而美妙的旅程。我毫不猶豫地認為，衝著這份製作水準，它就值迴票價瞭。
評分這本書的配圖，簡直是為文字注入瞭靈魂。我發現，這些插畫並非僅僅是輔助性的點綴，它們是故事世界觀不可或缺的一部分。畫師的功力深厚，每一幅插畫都仿佛擁有獨立的生命力，捕捉到瞭故事中最具代錶性、最能引發讀者共鳴的瞬間。無論是那座宏偉卻又帶著一絲詭譎的翡翠城，還是稻草人略顯笨拙的微笑，甚至是飛猴們張開翅膀的動態感，都錶現得淋灕盡緻。色彩的運用非常大膽且富有想象力，它們完美地詮釋瞭“奇幻”二字的真正含義，那種不真實卻又讓人深信不疑的視覺衝擊力，是再好的文字描述也難以企及的。對於初次接觸這個故事的孩子來說，這些圖畫無疑是最好的引導，幫助他們搭建起一個完整而生動的想象空間；對於成年人而言，它們則喚醒瞭沉睡已久的童心和對純粹美好的嚮往。
評分我在閱讀過程中，深刻感受到故事的核心主題是多麼的貼近人性，遠超齣瞭一個簡單的“童話”範疇。這本書探討瞭關於“自我認知”的深刻命題——我們常常認為自己缺少某種特質，渴望從外界獲得認可或力量，殊不知，我們真正所求的品質，早已深藏在自己的內心。看到角色們曆經韆辛萬苦，最終發現智慧、愛心和勇氣從未遠離時，那種情感上的釋放和共鳴是巨大的。它教會瞭年輕的讀者，真正的價值來源於內在的探索和實踐，而非外部的賜予。這種積極嚮上的價值觀，在當前這個充斥著速成和外在標簽的時代，顯得尤為珍貴和必要。它提供瞭一種健康的心靈成長路徑，鼓勵人們相信自己的潛能，並勇敢地邁齣第一步去發掘它。
