Alicia en el pais de las maravilla. Edicion conmemorativa (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass)

Alicia en el país de las maravillas traspasa el umbral que separa la realidad del sueño y se adentra en un territorio sin leyes ni normas donde todo es posible. Triunfo de la imaginación y del ingenio, esta narración recrea un mundo de escenarios y criaturas insólitos, y pone en entredicho todos y cada uno de los postulados lógicos del mundo convencional.

Este volumen presenta, junto a la traducción magistral de Luis Maristany y las láminas clásicas de John Tenniel, una nueva edición de Las aventuras subterráneas de Alicia, la obra seminal que el reverendo Dodgson -Lewis Carroll era su seudónimo- escribió e ilustró a mano para Alice Liddell en 1864. Cierra el tomo Alicia para los pequeños, la adaptación infantil que el propio autor hizo de su propia obra en 1890.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books–with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.–by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children’s literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up–or down, or all turned round–as seen through the expert eyes of a child.

About the Author

About The Author
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was a man of diverse interests -- in mathematics, logic, photgraphy, art, theater, religion, medicine, and science. He was happiest in the company of children for whom he created puzzles, clever games, and charming letters.

As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872.

The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. Sylvie and Bruno, published toward the end of his life contains startling ideas including an 1889 description of weightlessness.

The humor, sparkling wit and genius of this Victorian Englishman have lasted for more than a century. His books are among the most quoted works in the English language, and his influence (with that of his illustrator, Sir John Tenniel) can be seen everywhere, from the world of advertising to that of atomic physics.
