The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Well, this is a classic. There is a lot of things that have been said about this series. But as a classic, it has to read, analized and read again.

I would like to start this post telling you about one of the existing controversies, the way it has to be read. There are two ways to do it, the first and more known is the way that it was written, the second way is a way that CS Lewis said in a letter that is the chronological way, and the one that starts with The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and his Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair and The Last Battle. So if you have read this classics or this will be your first time, you could choose which way you will go. I have done my way, and it is the one that I will tell here.

This trilogy was written when Europe was sunked in desperation, just before WWII was over, so is the perfect way for the kids to travel. Travel to a place where they can be useful, in a magnificent place where they can be part of and not set aside. The book show us how, kids are no more when put in strained position. This is the start of the classic series that has been inspiration for a lot of people.

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe give us a Narnia, a white Narnia, under the rule of a terrible witch. But as we know white is a good color, so it is not so bad of a which, it can be, because white would not be so pure, it would be against nature, that is why the white starts to melt and the colors turn back to us. Then war start. Then blood can be spilled.

This book is a must to young, not so young, adults and much more adults. If you have read it, please go ahead and read it again, because depending on your age, your experiences in life, you can find different things and different connotations.
