3.5

Após adiar a leitura d’As Crónicas de Nárnia durante anos, optei por investir numa primeira leitura da coleção seguindo a ordem original de publicação dos livros. 

Gostei particularmente do facto de C. S. Lewis ter descrito detalhadamente os espaços que compreendem a ação e os acontecimentos que a compõem, recorrendo a uma escrita simples e adequada às crianças, permitindo-lhes visualizar facilmente a história. Além disso, mesmo sabendo que o autor pretendia estabelecer algumas pontes entre O Leão, A Feiticeira e o Guarda-Roupa e a Bíblia, para a maioria das crianças, acredito que este não passará de um conto acerca da díade bondade-maldade e das consequências dos nossos atos. 

Embora, neste primeiro volume, se destaquem intensamente as características menos positivas do Edmund e ele tenha direito a um arco de redenção, através do qual se torna uma pessoa justa e acarinhada, gostava que as personalidades do Peter, da Susan e da Lucy também tivessem sido mais bem exploradas. Aguardo para perceber se os restantes livros serão utilizados para desenvolver este trabalho e aprofundar as outras personagens...

Absolute classic that works on several levels, and the book that introduced me, in the third grade, to the concept of metaphors.

Not as good as the first book (maybe because I’ve seen the movie so many times), but still not bad.

This was a cute book. It was short and simple, and I can see why it's a classic. The characters were good, the plot was adorable and predictable, and the writing style was easy to follow.
