Nel Paese delle Meraviglie non valgono le leggi delta fisica: si cade per chilometri (forse, mа non si e sicuri) senza farsi niente. Non valgono le leggi del buon senso e dell'educazione: una fanciulla britannica di buona famiglia puo permettersi di bere intrugli quantomeno sospetti, о di sbocconcellare funghi magici seguendo i consigli di un bruco drogato. Puo infrangere tutte le noiose poesie edificanti propinatele da pseudopoeti bacchettoni, stravolgendole in strofe, di una crudelta e di undnarchia inaudite. Nel Paese delle Meraviglie non ci sono regole predefinite: e una bambina disambientata a creare il mondo e le entita che lo popolano. Alice non va dove la porta il cuore: va dove la porta il caos.

The Alice books are two of the most translated, most quoted, and best-known books in the world, but what exactly are they? Apparently delightful, innocent fantasies for children, they are also complex textures of mathematical, linguistic, and philosophical jokes. Alice's encounters with the White Rabbit, the Cheshire-Cat, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and many other extraordinary characters have made them masterpieces of carefree nonsense, yet they also appeal to adults on a quite different level. Layers of satire, allusion, and symbolism about Victorian culture and politics, as well as revelations about the intricate subconscious problems of their author, add to their fascination and make them impossible to classify. This new edition explores the phenomenal range of reference, and the paradoxical appeal of two of the most inventive books in world literature. It also includes an episode removed by Carroll from the proofs of Through the...

Великолепное подарочное издание. Книга в суперобложке с трехсторонним золотым обрезом. When Alice tumbles down, down, down a rabbit-hole one hot summer's afternoon in pursuit of a White Rabbit, she finds herself in Wonderland. And here begin the fantastical adventures that will see her experiencing extraordinary changes in size, swimming in a pool of her own tears and attending the very maddest of tea parties. For Wonderland is no ordinary place and the characters that populate it are quite unlike anybody young Alice has ever met before. In this imaginary land she encounters the savagely violent Queen, the lachrymose Mock Turtle, the laconic Cheshire Cat and the hookah-smoking caterpillar, each as surprising and outlandish as the next. Through the Looking-Glass continues Alice's bizarre adventures, in which she meets more outlandish creations, including the Red Queen, the White Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the White Knight.

Alice is bored and sleepy. Then she sees a white rabbit in a waistcoat, carrying a pocket watch. She follows him down a rabbit hole, into a magical world where very strange things happen. Wonderland is never boring - but how can Alice get home again? Retold by Virginia Evans, Jenny Dooley.

Lewis Carroll is best known for his two books describing "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", but he was a prolific author of fantasy and nonsense verse which are represented here in the complete "Sylvie and Bruno", and "The Hunting of the Snark", together with his early verse, "Puzzles from Wonderland", "Prologues to Plays", "Phantasmagoria", "College Rhymes and Notes", "Acrostics, Inscriptions, and Other Verse", and "Three Sunsets and Other Poems". Illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, Henry Holliday and Harry Furniss, all chosen by Lewis Carroll for the original editions.

The sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice finds herself embarking on a journey even curiouser than Wonderland, and gets caught up in the great Looking-Glass chess game, and sets off to become a queen.

The 1872 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds Carroll's inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Alice encounters talking flowers, madcap kings and queens, and becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and other amusing nursery-rhyme characters.

"Curiouser and curiouser!" thought Alice. There she was, minding her own business, sitting sleepily on the riverbank with her sister, when suddenly a white rabbit ran past and not just any rabbit, but a rabbit murmuring "Dear, dear! I shall be too late!" before pulling a watch out of his waistcoat pocket to check the time. Alice couldn't believe her eyes and ears. She chased after the rabbit, fell down the hole he disappeared into and at the bottom of the rabbit hole found herself in a very strange land indeed. One adventure follows another in this delightful tale as Alice changes size unexpectedly, attends a tea party given by the March Hare, visits a garden of talking flowers, and acts as witness at the trial of a thief who has stolen some tarts. Along the way, Alice meets such unforgettable characters as the Mad Hatter, the grinning Cheshire Cat, the tearful Mock Turtle, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the autocratic Red Queen, and other fanciful folk. Alice in...

Alice goes through the looking glass into another world whose eccentric inhabitants seem to be either chess-pieces or characters from nursery rhymes - that is, when they are not talking flowers or insects. Obeying their own impossible rules of logic, they are all full of criticism or good advice as Alice, a lowly Pawn, sets out on her quest to become a Queen of the Chess Board. Формат: 11 см x 18 см.
