Alices Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Look

Описание книги

Льюис Кэрролл (Чарлз Лютвидж Доджсон) - английский писатель, профессор математики Оксфордского университета, один из лучших фотографов ХIХ века, - обессмертил свое имя сказками о девочке Алисе. Любопытство завело Алису сначала в подземную страну, где ее подстерегали неожиданности и фантастические персонажи, а потом девочка попала в Зазеркалье, где пережила немало приключений. Книга на английском языке. This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel. Through die Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as they ever were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
