Os 70 melhores livros... Viraram filmes!
18.5.10
Recentemente, a Puffin – selo editorial da Penguin responsável por livros infantojuvenis – comemorou seus 70 anos. Como parte da festinha, fizeram uma lista bem legal dos 70 melhores livros (infantojuvenis, mas com algumas controvérsias) de todos os tempos.
Lendo a listinha, reparei que muitos daqueles livros viraram ou estão prestes a virar filmes (alguns foram para a televisão, também). Em sua maioria são produções recomendadas, afinal foram adaptadas de grandes obras.
Destaque para a última categoria, que é um pouco maldosa, e para a constante aparição de Roald Dahl na lista.
A propósito, não vale ter preconceito com a palavra “infantojuvenil”! Dê uma olhadinha na lista e divirta-se lembrando de muitas coisas legais...
