Barrie's much-loved tale of Lost Boys, mermaids, pirates, and a boy who will never grow up.

This is the magical tale that first introduces Peter Pan, the little boy who never grows any older. He escapes his human form and flies to Kensington Gardens, where all his happy memories are, and meets the fairies, the thrushes, and Old Caw the crow. The fairies think he is too human to be allowed to stay in after lock-out time, so he flies off to an island in the middle of the Serpentine, the lake which divides the Gardens from the more grown-up Hyde Park ... Peter's adventures, and how he eventually meets Mamie and the goat, are delightfully illustrated by arthur Rackham.

The Darling children of Bloomsbury have a secret. His name is Peter Pan, a mischievous night visitor who’s somewhere “betwixt and between” a boy and a bird and who refuses to grow up. When Peter invites young Wendy and her two brothers to follow him back to his Neverland home, an adventure beyond any bedtime story unfolds. A world apart from its innumerable renditions, sequels, and spin-offs, Barrie’s Peter and Wendy is a strange, beautiful, dark, and complex fantasy about the “heartless innocence” of children, the bittersweet longings of adult nostalgia, and the realities and fears of growing up. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling.

A história do menino que não queria crescer faz parte do imaginário de diferentes gerações de leitores. É com entusiasmo que a editora Cosac Naify coloca nas prateleiras uma edição excepcional da versão original do romance do escritor escocês J. M. Barrie, com tradução integral de Sergio Flaksman, ilustrações do artista plástico Guto Lacaz, posfácio inédito no Brasil do especialista em clássicos e fábulas Jack Zipes e quarta capa assinada pela atriz Denise Fraga. Peter e Wendy é a história do menino Peter Pan (cujo nome é inspirado em Pan, o mítico deus grego conhecido por suas farras), que se recusa a crescer, e suas aventuras com os irmãos Darling pela Terra do Nunca, “a segunda à direita, e depois sempre em frente até o amanhecer”. As ilustrações exclusivas de Guto Lacaz foram feitas a partir de recortes de papéis coloridos e vegetal e fotografadas em estúdio. Guto conseguiu um interessante jogo de luz e sombra ao capturar, por exemplo, as nuances da passagem do dia através da luminosidade que incide em uma janela ou quando Sininho toma veneno para salvar Peter e a ilustração “se apaga”. A grande surpresa do livro fica por conta da sobrecapa em papel vegetal, que, quando dobrada, se transforma em luminária. Com o auxílio de uma lâmpada de LED de baixa voltagem, cria um bonito efeito sobre as figuras de Wendy, Peter, Sininho, Capitão Gancho e os meninos perdidos, para iluminar todas as viagens à Terra do Nunca. “São meninos que não querem crescer e sutilmente nos fazem lembrar de nosso sonho, nossa própria lei, nossa crença no impossível. Quando exatamente perdemos a capacidade de voar? [...] É difícil crescer, mas Mr. Barrie nos faz acreditar que existem muitas maneiras de voar, também na vida adulta. Ler este livro é uma delas.” Denise Fraga, em texto de quarta capa de Peter e Wendy

J.M. Barrie's timeless tale of the 'boy who would not grow up' Peter Pan is edited with an introduction by Jack Zipes in Penguin Classics. When Peter Pan and his fairy companion Tinker Bell fly in through the window of Wendy's nursery one night, it is the beginning of an adventure that whisks Wendy and her brothers Michael and John off to Neverland. There they will find mermaids, fairies, pirates led by the sinister Captain Hook, and the crocodile who bit off his leg - and still pursues him in hope of the rest! Peter Pan originally appeared as a baby living a magical life among birds and fairies in J.M. Barrie's sequence of stories, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. His adventures capture the spirit of childhood - and of rebellion against the role of adulthood in conventional society. This edition includes the novel and the stories, and reproduces the original illustrations by Francis Donkin Bedford and Arthur Rackham. In his introduction, Jack Zipes sifts through the psychological interpretations that have engaged critics, explores the cultural and literary contexts in which we can appreciate Barrie's enduring creation, and shows why Peter Pan is fundamentally a work that urges adults to reconnect with their own imagination.
