Book excerpt: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900, it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the popular 1902 Broadway musical and the well-known 1939 film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a cyclone.[nb 1] The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the 1902 Broadway musical which Baum adapted from his original story, led to Baum's writing thirteen more Oz books. The original book has been in the public domain in the US since 1956. Baum dedicated the book "to my good friend & comrade, My Wife," Maud Gage Baum. In January 1901, George M. Hill Company, the publisher, completed printing the first edition, which totaled 10,000 copies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is an experience where we must emerge victorious over what prevents us from manifesting our reality. In this collection of eight volumes, the author defines us, as human beings, our psyche and the connection that exists between our body, soul, and Mind. He answers fundamental questions that trouble us deep down inside. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? He shows us how to remain objective about our subjective experience. The author covers the origin of creation of the universe, the emergence of man, and the end of our world that progressively fades away. He goes beyond the limits of psychology which restrain our attempt to grasp our real consciousness. He shows us that the imperfection of our ego is at the origin of the wide array of emotions that afflicts us and enslaves humanity. He explains the phenomenon of the degeneration of our physical body, leading to death. He shows us how to slow it down, to finally reveal how to overcome it. His research helps us understand our presence in the universe. He demystifies the process of reincarnation and lifts the veil from the reality of paranormal phenomena. He teaches us how to wake up the wizard that sleeps within us and how to set him free. The author’s vision constitutes an overview of the human adventure and of our destiny if we have the power and we manifest the Will to triumph from the burden which was imposed on us. The only limits that we possess are the one which we cannot refute. The author explores the scenarios of the end of this world, in relation to the law of cycles which will lead to the birth of a new civilization where science will amaze and assist us into our exploration of life. He shares his personal experiences with us, as well as his comprehension of the lessons learned from them. He gives us all the necessary tools that will finally enable us to deliver ourselves from the forces of decay in order to be able to escape from our terrestrial prison. The first page of this collection opens the door to infinity and to our inner wizard.
