Lewis Carroll, página 2 de 43

Escrito seis años después de "Alicia en el País de las Maravillas" y contando con la misma protagonista, "A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró al otro lado" -relato planteado como una partida de ajedrez en la que Alicia, de peon, 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. Velada en ocasiones por la mayor popularidad de su antecesora, A traves del espejo no solo no desmerece en absoluto de ella, sino que cuenta entre sus personajes con algunos de los mas citados y conocidos de este peculiar universo, como Tarari y Tarara (Tweedledee y Tweedledum) o el oviforme Zanco Panco (Humpty Dumpty).Escrito seis años después de "Alicia en el País de las Maravillas" y contando con la misma protagonista, "A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró al otro lado" -relato planteado como una partida de ajedrez en la que Alicia, de peon, 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.

Una obra maestra de la literatura infantil que es también un sensacional asalto a la lógica de los adultos.

A modo de apendice, ademas, se incluye una seleccion de cartas del autor y un pormenorizado estudio de Nina Auerbach, catedratica emerita en la Universidad de Pennsylvania y reconocida especialista en literatura inglesa decimononica.La opinion de celebres autores:Solo Lewis Carroll nos ha mostrado el mundo tal y como un niño lo ve, y nos ha hecho reir tal y como un niño lo hace.Virginia Woolf Un trabajo de una inteligencia prodigiosa...

The novel has two main plots; one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fictional world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairytale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carrolls most famous childrens book Alices Adventures in Wonderland, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel. The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze termed Sylvie and Bruno "a masterpiece which shows entirely new techniques compared to Alice and Through the Looking-Glass."

Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures.The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgsons friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.

In "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," Lewis Carroll invites readers into a fantastical realm, continuing the adventures of Alice with a narrative that defies conventional logic and chronological order. This sequel retains CarrollAos whimsical literary style, employing playful language, paradox, and intricate wordplay, all while introducing a rich tableau of characters and settings. The narrative unfolds as a chess-themed allegory, where each chapter mirrors the movement of chess pieces, enhancing the texts complexity and inviting various interpretations concerning identity and agency amidst the nonsensical backdrop. Lewis Carroll, a pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an Oxford mathematician and logician whose creative genius bound together a deep understanding of language with a fascination for the absurd. His unique perspective, shaped by his experiences in Victorian England and his love for childrenAos literature, is evident in the innovative structure of this work. Carrolls exploration of the fantastical reflects both his mathematical inclinations and his insightful observations on the nature of childhood, reality, and imagination. For readers enamored with literary whimsy and philosophical puzzles, "Through the Looking-Glass" is a must-read. It captivates the imagination and challenges perceptions, offering layers of meaning that resonate with both children and adults. Carrolls masterful storytelling and inventive use of language beckon new audiences to experience the enchanting and thought-provoking world of Alice once more.

Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and its second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. Both volumes were illustrated by Harry Furniss.The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carrolls Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

Alices Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures.The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. During the trip the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.Lewis Carrolls first appearance of Alices Adventures in Wonderland was a much shorter work titled Alices Adventures Under Ground. Although the final product is well known for John Tenniels memorable illustrations, Carroll himself illustrated his original manuscript. In fact, many of Tenniels illustrations were actually based on Carrolls own. Carroll gave the original, handwritten manuscript to Alice Liddell, the girl for whom his heroine was named.
