James

    P. D. James creò avvincenti romanzi gialli, meglio noti per la serie con l'introspezione detective Adam Dalgliesh. La sua opera è caratterizzata da personaggi completamente sviluppati e da un'esplorazione moralistica ma realistica delle motivazioni umane. James mescolò abilmente i classici tropi polizieschi con una profonda intuizione psicologica, creando narrazioni che risuonarono ampiamente. Oltre alla sua celebrata serie di detective, si avventurò anche in futuri distopici e offrì svolte moderne ad ambientazioni letterarie classiche.

    • Nel crepuscolo londinese una figuretta vola sui tetti delle case: è Peter Pan, l'unico bambino che non cresce mai. Il motivo della visita in città è presto detto: deve riacciuffare la sua ombra ribelle, fuggita mentre ascoltava di nascosto le storie che Mrs. Darling racconta ogni sera ai piccoli Wendy, John e Michael prima di dormire. Sarà l'inizio di una meravigliosa avventura, con una tribù di ragazzi smarriti che vivono su un'isola non riportata dalle mappe (non le vostre, perlomeno!), indiani, fatine dispettose, pirati senza una mano, coccodrilli affamati e sirene ammaliatrici. Il fantastico universo creato da James M. Barrie rivive in queste pagine nell'edizione integrale delle avventure del bambino che non voleva crescere, in una nuova traduzione e con illustrazioni d'epoca. Il volume riunisce infatti i romanzi "Peter Pan nei Giardini di Kensington", racconto della fuga tra le fate di Peter neonato, e "Peter e Wendy", la seconda puntata della saga, resa celebre dalla versione disneyana degli anni Cinquanta. Arthur Rackham, fra i più amati artisti di età vittoriana, e F.D. Bedford, illustratore della prima edizione di "Peter e Wendy", raffigurano le avventure di Peter e compagni con tratto gioioso e sognante, fissando nella fantasia dei lettori di ogni epoca ed età personaggi e ambientazioni di una fiaba senza tempo, che parla dell'incanto perduto dell'infanzia e del potere dei sogni.
