Lewis Carroll, página 9 de 42

ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?''So she was considering, in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" (when she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

Part of Penguin''s beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful and tactile cloth.''I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,'' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one ''golden afternoon'' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

In "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," Lewis Carroll constructs a whimsical yet profound sequel to his beloved "Alices Adventures in Wonderland." This novel is marked by its playful use of language, inventive verse, and intricate wordplay, embodying the nonsensical logic that defines Carrolls literary style. The narrative unfolds in a fantastical realm where time runs backward, exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the nature of reality through a series of dreamlike encounters. This richly layered work serves as both a captivating tale for children and a sharp commentary on the adult world, reflecting Victorian anxieties and philosophical questions.

Lewis Carrolls classic amazing adventures of Alice and the curious, odd characters she meets in a magical world where time does not matter.

Nada ela o 4 de xullo de 1862,ó improvisa-lo seu autor un conto para entreter a dúas raparigas durante unha excursión domingueira, esta obra de orixinalidade estarrecente que lle fixo exclamar a un meniño de seis anos "¡tiña que haber sesenta mil libros coma este!", e unha grande "outra cousa" da literatura.A nena Alicia, caendo polo tobo dun coello vai dar a unha sala soterraña onde medra e encolle segundo consome beberaxes e doces maxicos, nada entremedias de animais extravagantes nunha pucharca formada coas suas propias bagoas, entra nun xardin encantado no que extraños personaxes manteñen con ela absurdos razoamentos envolveitos na mais rigorosa loxica aparente, e logo esperta.E pois que non pasa un dia, ou tal vez nin sequera unha hora, sen que alguen no mundo de fala inglesa cite unha frase ou evoque un personaxe das aventuras de Alicia en todalas situacions e lugares, non hai dubida de que esta e unha obra certamente clasica. Verquido el os mais dos idiomas... velaqui, seguramente, a mellor traduccion do libro mais dificil de traducir.

La presente edición es, sin lugar a dudas, la más importante realizada hasta la fecha, pues a las dos obras maestras de L. Carroll -y a las no menos magistrales ilustraciones de Tenniel- han venido a unirse las notas y comentarios de Martin Gardner. El autor de esta edicion anotada, columnista de Scientific American durante mas de veinte años, matematico y ensayista original, era quiza, por su profesion y aficiones, la persona mas apropiada para realizar esta labor, arrojando nueva y definitiva luz sobre un texto complicado pero delicioso. No en vano, Charles Dodgson (esto es, L. Carroll) fue tambien profesor de Logica y Matematicas, como el anotador, dejando en sus libros la huella inequivoca de su sutilisimo humor, entretejido de constantes combinaciones y variables imprevistas. A la calidad de los textos, y al meticuloso cuidado con el que ha realizado su traduccion Francisco Torres Oliver, viene por ultimo a unirse la magnifica presentacion de los textos e ilustraciones. Creemos que el conjunto constituye por todo ello una edicion autenticamente imprescindible.

Las aventuras de Alicia en el país de las maravillas (Alices Adventures in Wonderland), a menudo abreviado como Alicia en el país de las maravillas, es una obra de literatura creada por el matemático, logico y escritor britanico Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, mas conocido bajo el seudonimo de Lewis Carroll. El cuento esta lleno de alusiones satiricas a los amigos de Dodgson, la educacion inglesa y temas politicos de la epoca. El Pais de las Maravilla
