Description

A very, VERY strange book; full of crazy surprises, most of them pleasant ones. Insane adventures, rational beheadings and lovely tea parties. Ironically, not my cup of tea. Literary nonsense is not really my thing. This was my first encounter with the genre and sadly not an experience I hold dear, I realize now I need sense in my readings. Still, even though I did not enjoy it that much this is one timeless classic I’m glad to be able to finally scratch off my list. Bivona, Daniel (September 1986).

Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. Day, David (2015).

Alice is an example of the literary nonsense genre. [58] According to Humphrey Carpenter, Alice 's brand of nonsense embraces the nihilistic and existential. Characters in nonsensical episodes such as the Mad Tea Party, in which it is always the same time, go on posing paradoxes that are never resolved. [59] Rules and games [ edit ] Garland, C. (2008).

Today, reading a friend’s review on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass, I searched the garden shed for an edition of Alice in Wonderland illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger which I read ages ago, to have another look at Zwerger’s marvellous illustrations. Sadly enough it has disappeared – I must have lent out my copy to a friend. So, heading for a revisit in the near future hoping for the book to return, in the meantime I cannot resist sharing some of Lisbeth Zwerger’s illustrations which I add to the book appetizer I wrote because a friend asked me so long ago.

Lewis Carroll and Anthony Browne, illustrator of an edition from Julia MacRae Books, wins the Kurt Maschler Award. [97] A la hora de dar mi opinión sobre Alicia no estaba seguro por donde empezar. Prácticamente se ha dicho todo y no sé que más puedo aportar. Pero además, a este hecho, se suma que siento que es un libro que tiene mucho escondido en el fondo, donde no se pueda ver bien y eso consigue que cada lector entienda la obra de una manera. Quizás un mismo lector la entendería de diferente manera si la releyera.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by British author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson over the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Wonderland is my Hogwarts. While many readers pray their letters just got lost in the mail, I’m constantly hoping I’ll see a white rabbit in a waistcoat and fall down, down, down into what must be the center of the earth. The hardcover book as a physical object has much to recommend it. Beautifully designed with high-quality paper, it is nonetheless inexpensive enough that parents shouldn't panic at the prospect of thumbprints and spills if they read or give it to their children. A great gift for children, children-at-heart, and lovers of timeless culture, it will earn a proud place by the bedside, on the bookshelf, or on the coffee table right beside the tiny golden key to the garden of your imagination."—Jon Sobel, Blogcritics.org Rare Manuscripts".

Aventuras insanas, decapitaciones racionales y adorables reuniones de té. Irónicamente, no fue mi taza de té. La Literarura Sinsentido no es en absoluto lo mío. Este fue mi primer encuentro con el género y lamentablemente no una experiencia que atesore, me doy cuenta ahora que necesito sentido en mis lecturas. Aun así, aunque no lo disfruté mucho este es un clásico atemporal que me alegra finalmente poder tachar de mi lista. These stories seem to centre on the idea of escape, escape from a boring reality in which the protagonist enters a world of exciting, and sometimes terrifying, adventure as they walk away from their old mundane life. This is a popular trope and here it works very well, Alice jumps down a rabbit hole and enters a truly insane world that makes little sense.

But I do love the original animated Disney adaptation. There’s a certain quality to the book that’s captured within that film, which I haven’t found recreated in any other retelling or use of the setting or adaptation.

Carroll meets another Alice, Alice Raikes, during his time in London. He talks with her about her reflection in a mirror, leading to the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, which sells even better.
