Lewis Carroll, página 10 de 44

As he escorted the three young daughters of a colleague on a trip up the river Isis, Lewis Carroll invented ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, the story of a little girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole. Full of such wonderfully eccentric characters as the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter. The book is simultaneously a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, a fairy tale, a dream, and a child's chronicle of growing up.

When Alice follows a white rabbit in a waistcoat down a hole, she finds herself in a mixed-up world where nothing is as she expects it to be and anything can happen. Alice meets a pipe-smoking caterpillar, a grinning cat, a Mad Hatter and the formidable Queen of Hearts.

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes a magical re-imagining of one of the most beloved stories of all time. Mia Wasikowska stars as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror.

Segunda parte de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas, A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró al otro lado,-relato planteado como una partida de ajedrez en la que Alicia, de peón, se convierte en reina-, lleva hasta sus ultimas posibilidades los juegos de palabras, las parodias cultas y los recursos literarios que Lewis Carroll utilizara ya en su antecesora. El presente volumen recoge un episodio adicional que se considero perdido hasta 1974 y constituye,por lo tanto, la primera edicion completa de esta obra en el ambito castellano.

In the 1940s the author was commissioned to produce a set of 70 pen-and-ink drawings to accompany Lewis Carroll's two classics, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass". This book features these illustrations.

Lewis Carrolls "A Tangled Tale" presents a fascinating interweaving of whimsical narratives that engage both the intellect and imagination. Written in a playful, nonsensical style characteristic of Carrolls oeuvre, the book consists of ten interconnected stories, each followed by a mathematical puzzle. The literary context reflects the Victorian eras burgeoning fascination with logic and language, juxtaposing serious themes with light-hearted humor and absurdity, illustrating how critical thought can lead to unexpected delights. This intricate tapestry of storytelling challenges readers to think critically while simultaneously delighting in the curves of language and absurd situations. Lewis Carroll, a mathematician and logician as well as a writer, drew upon his background in logic and his love of riddles and paradoxes to craft this unique work. The blend of mathematical concepts with literary creativity showcases Carrolls dual talents and his commitment to engaging with readers through both intellectual rigor and playful fantasy. His experiences in academia and his relationships with children, especially his fondness for Alice Liddell, likely influenced the creation of his playful narrative style, making abstract concepts accessible. "A Tangled Tale" is recommended for anyone who wishes to explore the interplay between logic and storytelling. It serves as an excellent introduction to Carrolls distinctive literary voice. This book is a delightful choice for readers interested in puzzles, language, and the absurd, offering both entertainment and intellectual challenge.

In 1864, Lewis Carroll sent Alices Adventures Under Ground, a handwritten and illustrated manuscript, as a gift to Alice Liddell, the daughter of his Oxford dean. This formed the basis for Carrolls Alice in Wonderlandintroducing timeless characters such as Alice, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, and the Gryphonalthough it differs considerably from the later work, with the author himself approving its publication in 1886. Alices Adventures Under Ground provides an enchanting glimpse into Carrolls imaginative process, and deserves to be ranked as a classic for all ages in its own right.

Lewis Carroll (18321898) made his name with his Alice books in the 1860s, but also wrote on popular mathematics he was a maths tutor in various capacities at Christ Church College, Oxford, from his undergraduate days until his death.First published in 1885, "A Tangled Tale" is a collection of ten brief humorous puzzles called knots originally published in a monthly magazine in the early 1880s. Each puzzle is described in story form, then summarised as a maths problem. For the book, Carroll assessed answers sent in by readers, referring to them by name (usually pseudonyms) and grading them, with comments in typically polite-but-cutting Oxford-don fashion.

Presentamos una nueva traducción, con ilustraciones del artista neoyorquino Peter Kuper, de este gran clásico de la literatura universal. En una interesante entrevista Tim Burton (recién salido entonces de la madriguera de conejo de su adaptacion cinematografica de Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas) hacia un apunte muy perspicaz acerca de por que, a su juicio, habian fracasado las anteriores adaptaciones cinematograficas de la obra de Carroll: Todos se han limitado a mirar a Alicia como a una niña a la que, simplemente, le suceden cosas fantasticas, pero nadie se ha parado un segundo a preguntarse quien es esa niña. Quiza, en esa queja tan simple de Burton esten contenidos todos los malentendidos habituales de quienes rechazan la obra de Carroll como un sencillo libro de aventuras incomprensibles, o como un falso libro para niños. Dejemos, entonces, que sea el propio Carroll quien conteste: ¿Que fuiste tu, soñada Alicia, en la mirada de tu padre adoptivo? ¿Como dibujarte ahora? Amorosamente, desde luego, amorosa y tiernamente: amorosa como un perro (y perdonen este simil tan prosaico, pero no se me ocurre un amor mundano mas puro y perfecto), tierna como un cervatillo, educada con todos, con los altos y los bajos, con los solemnes y los grotescos, tanto con el Rey como con la oruga, incluso cuando ella misma era hija de un Rey y vestia con ropas doradas, y tambien confiada, dispuesta a creer siempre hasta los mas disparatados imposibles, con esa confianza que solo le es propia a los soñadores, curiosa, extremadamente curiosa, y con la capacidad de diversion que nace solo de las horas alegres de la infancia, cuando todo es nuevo y brillante y el pecado y el dolor no son mas que meras palabras, palabras vacias que nada significan.

In "Three Sunsets and Other Poems," Lewis Carroll showcases his whimsical literary style that seamlessly intertwines fantasy and reality. This collection reveals Carrolls characteristic wordplay, innovative rhyme schemes, and playful engagement with themes of nature and time, inviting readers to traverse the landscapes of his imagination. Each poem unfolds like a vibrant tapestry, offering reflections on beauty, mortality, and the ethereal quality of fleeting moments, all while adhering to the Victorian sensibilities that shaped its context. The juxtaposition of simplicity and depth in his verses encourages contemplation and enjoyment alike, making this collection a striking addition to Carrolls oeuvre. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, logician, and mathematician whose multifaceted interests informed his literary creations. His experiences as a mathematician imbue his poetry with a unique structure and logical playfulness, while his affinity for childrenAos literature and storytelling invites a sense of wonder. CarrollAos mastery of language and narrative is evident in this collection, as he fuses personal reflections with broader existential musings, reflecting his own fascination with the passage of time and the human experience. "Three Sunsets and Other Poems" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the interplay of intellect and imagination in literature. Carrolls enchanting verses captivate not only children but also adults, inviting them to explore the deeper meanings woven beneath the surface of his playful language. This collection serves as a melding of lyrical beauty and philosophical insight, making it a must-read for anyone eager to experience the layers of Carrolls genius.
