Las Cronicas de Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins Spanish)) (Spanish Edition) [Paperback]

C. S. Lewis (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins Spanish)

Viajes al fin del mundo, criaturas fantásticas y batallas épicas entre el bien y el mal—El León, la Bruja y el Ropero es un libro que lo contiene todo—y fue escrito en 1949 por C. S. Lewis. Sin embargo, Lewis no acabó ahí. Seis libros más siguieron, y juntos se dieron a conocer como Las Crónicas de Narnia.

Durante más de cincuenta años, Las Crónicas de Narnia han transcendido el género de la fantasía, formando parte del canon de la literatura clásica. Cada uno de los siete libros es una obra maestra, que sumerge a los lectores en un terreno donde la magia es realidad, y el resultado es un mundo ficticio cuyo ámbito ha fascinado a generaciones.

Esta edición presenta los siete libros en un volumen impresionante.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great stories with a few translation errors, March 18, 2010

By 

Jay (Dearborn Heights, MI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Las Cronicas de Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins Spanish)) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I have enjoyed these stories since I was in elementary school, and now I am enjoying them again while learning Spanish. Overall the translation seems fine to me, but once in a while I notice something that appears to be a glaring error. I'll share two examples from El León, la Bruja, y el Ropero:

English: "There was nothing else in the room at all except a dead blue-bottle on the window-sill."
Spanish: "Allí no encontraron nada más, excepto una botella azul en la repisa de la ventana."

(A "blue-bottle" is a house fly, but the Spanish calls it a blue bottle.)

English: "The hags made a dart at him and shrieked with triumph...."
Spanish: "Las hechiceras le arrojaron un dardo y chillaron triunfantes...."

(Unless I am mistaken, the Spanish says they threw a dart at him.)

These occasional mistakes might not bother everyone, but they bothered me, and I thought they were worth mentioning. Again, the stories are still great.

Finally this great collection in Spanish. We have the audio theater of all 7 books in English and its spectacular. I wanted to have a simple book written for a child in Spanish to share with others. This book wonderfully portrays the same story as the English version does. My only disappointment is that in translating they made up some words and also misspelled some things in Spanish (mistakes are few). All in all this book is great for adults and children. Powerful message too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as high quality as the individual book, but a bargain, February 22, 2007

This is a bargain if you want the whole collection, but the book is of very thin paper, the letter is smaller and harder to read than the indiviual books, but all this is necesary to make it fit in a big size book, instead of the whole collection.
