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.

Alice is sitting on the edge of a riverbank when she spots a white rabbit in a waistcoat disappearing down a hole. Before long, she finds herself jumping down the rabbit-hole after it, and entering a world unlike any other.Here Alice drinks unknown liquids that shrink her in size and she eats mushrooms that make her gigantic. She encounters a caterpillar who smokes and a dormouse who scolds her, and she morphs into a seven-year-old Queen after winning a game of chess.Of all the daydreams documented in literary history, Alice''s is the most outrageous, affecting, imaginative and powerful.

Marking the 150th anniversary of Alices Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Pulp! The Classics has reissued Alice like youve never seen her before! This cupcake was off her head! What HAS happened to little Alice? Taking shrooms, hanging out with hookah smoking neer do wells and being dragged to court. Thats gonna be one hell of a hangover!

Satira della societa, rivolta contro la ragione, specchio dell'infanzia che giudica il mondo degli adulti, saga dell'inconscio, storia di un incubo e bibbia dell'assurdo. Con i suoi personaggi indimenticabili e le sue situazioni paradossali l'incantato viaggio di Alice ha soggiogato decine di generazioni esercitando un fascino misterioso eppure semplicissimo. In questa edizione speciale, che unisce "Alice nel paese delle meraviglie" e "Attraverso lo specchio", la raffinata traduzione di Masolino D'Amico si sposa all'arguzia del brillante matematico statunitense Martin Gardner, che con le sue celebri glosse ha svelato come nessun altro i giochi di parole e la fitta trama di nonsense e indovinelli matematici intessuti dal reverendo Carroll nei suoi due capolavori. Accompagnano il testo le illustrazioni di John Tenniel, celebre incisore di epoca vittoriana che con la precisione del suo tratto e la pungente ironia delle sue intuizioni diede per la prima volta forma grafica all'universo di Alice e alle sue meraviglie.

A oltre un secolo dalla sua pubblicazione, Alice, come romanzo e come personaggio, conserva ancora intatta tutta la sua freschezza, incantando non solo i piu giovani ma anche gli adulti, che nel suo mondo meraviglioso scoprono un altro se, pronto a sfidare ardui giochi linguistici, entusiasmanti trucchi psicologici, situazioni impossibili che mettono in discussione la realta e svelano l'irresistibile fascino dell'assurdo. In un romanzo in cui la sospensione dell'incredulita e d'obbligo, il gusto del gioco non puo essere dimenticato e va riscoperto con occhi che sappiano guardare al di la del consueto. Perche qui e l'essenza della vita, e forse tra i sogni segreti di tanti c'e proprio la tana di un coniglio bianco in cui perdersi, uno specchio al di la del quale riscoprire la bellezza della vita reale. È letteratura per ragazzi? È un libro da leggere punto e basta. Premessa di Simona Vinci, introduzione e note di Paola Faini. Eta di lettura: da 11 anni.
