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.

Un classico della narrativa di fantasia. Il frutto dell'amore del timido parroco anglicano Lewis Carroll per un gruppo di bambine alle quali dedicò storie e disegni e ritrasse in foto piuttosto maliz

On an ordinary summers afternoon Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters she meets a rabbit with a pocket watch joins a Mad Hatters Tea Party and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute. Lewis Carroll born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98) grew up in Cheshire in the village of Daresbury the son of a parish priest. He was a brilliant mathematician a skilled photographer and a meticulous letter and diary writer. Alices Adventures in Wonderland inspired by Alice Liddell the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church in Oxford was published in 1865 followed by Through the Looking-Glass in 1867. He wrote numerous stories and poems for children including the nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark and fairy stories Sylvie and Bruno.

Alicia para niños es la adaptación que Lewis Carroll preparó para los más pequeños cuando comprobó el enorme éxito que había cosechado Alicia en el país de las maravillas, libro no pensado -en principio- para la infancia mas tierna. Cuidadosamente selecciono los veinte dibujos mas apropiados de John Tenniel y pidio a la pintora Emily Gertrude Thomson que los coloreara. Esta breve y deliciosa historia recoge las peripecias esenciales que vive Alicia detras del Conejo Blanco, el Gato de Cheshire o en la corte de la Reina de Corazones.

Lewis Carroll'Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.' So many readers were to take this famous advice given by the King of Hearts that by the end of the nineteenth century the double Alice (1865 and 1872) had acquired a pre-eminent and unassailable position in children's literature. Lewis Carroll's use of logic, by which the ordinary is translated into the extraordinary in an entirely plausible way, is delightfully combined with an exceptional knowledge and understanding of the mind of the child. Satire, allusion and symbolism weave deeper and mysterious meanings, lending a measure of immortality to Carroll's remarkable fantasy.

Nunca antes de que el diácono y profesor de Matemáticas Charles Lutwidge Dogson -Lewis Carroll para la gloria literaria- publicara en 1865 Alicia en el país de las maravillas se había accedido a las regiones del subcosciente infantil, que no se pone trabas racionales para mezclar realidad y fantasia, aunque de esa amalgama surja una nueva realidad, a primera vista, totalmente absurda. Cuando en 1872 aparece Al otro lado del espejo, y lo que Alicia encontro alli, la nueva logica carrolliana se redondea en una narracion de absurdas relaciones que pueden alcanzar un perfecto sentido dentro su sin-sentido establecido en una total libertad de relacion entre palabras e ideas. Esta aparente paradoja de lo irracional no ha impedido que el conjunto de aventuras de la niña Alicia se haya convertido en uno de los mayores referentes de la literatura infantil. Mas aun, a partir de las vanguardias del siglo XX, tan deudoras de la busqueda racional o artificial de una infancia sin prejuicios, la obra de Lewis Carroll es paso obligado para la formacion del nuevo hombre moderno que, de adulto, puede seguir jugando a ser niño reinventandose Al otro lado del espejo.

ONE HOT SUMMER DAY, ALICE SEES A WHITE RABBIT AND RUNS AFTER IT. SHE FOLLOWS IT DOWN A RABBIT-HOLE - AND ARRIVES IN 'WONDERLAND'. HERE, CATERPILLARS CAN TALK AND RABBITS HAVE WATCHES. AND THE QUEEN WANTS TO CUT OFF EVERYBODY'S HEAD!

El cuento de Alicia en el país de las maravillas es un clásico de la literatura universal cuyos personajes son entrañables a la mitología y al folklore ingleses. Las célebres obras contenidas en este libro estan enclavadas en el terreno de lo irracional y del absurdo, son un desesperado intento de unir la logica al sinsentido. Son trabajos que se mantienen con vida autonoma y ejercen aun viva influencia, como un modo siempre renovado de reflejar el universo, como una forma siempre nueva de humor y, sobre todo, como un intento de encontrar una logica y una coherencia en aquello que por principio escapa a todas las leyes, lo que de irracional contiene nuestra existencia. Alicia... y su secuela, a grandes trazos, pueden ser el intento de creacion de un mundo que, esteticamente coherente, logra reflejar el sinsentido del nuestro.

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

Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and tumbles into Wonderland: a topsy-turvy world of riddles and nonsense where animals answer back, a baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a disorderly tea party, croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. In a land in which nothing is as it seems and cakes, potions and mushrooms can make her shrink to ten inches or grow to the size of a house, will she ever find her way home?
