Fetch Alices Adventures In Wonderland; And, Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There Narrated By Lewis Carroll Accessible In Document

reread for me, and what a pleasure it was to reconnect with Alices Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass, Many years since I read this but it still raises a smile! Alice nel

paese delle meraviglie e Attraverso lo specchio sono i racconti più famosi dell'autore.
Ne sono state tratte un'infinità di versioni cinematografiche, Quella della Disney, da piccolo, girava spesso e ne avevo visionato gran parte, ma non mi entusiasmava mai granchè, Così rimase nel limbo per decenni,
Nell'ultimo periodo risalta fuori il discorso, così lo prendo e lo inizio, La prima parte mi è risultata un po' distante, forse perchè è il pezzo che mi ricordo di più dall'infanzia e mi annoiava, ma pian piano la narrazione, le ambientazioni, i giochini di parole spiegati nelle note e tutto l'universo del nonsense, incominciavano ad affiorare in superficie ed io ne venivo, gradatamente, immerso nel suo fascino sognante, fantastico.

Un aspetto che mi ha colpito è quel sviluppare i "personaggi" animali, che seppur antropomorfizzati aspetto che odio in tutti i cartoni animati, risultano particolari e non degli umani travestiti da animali.
Difficile da spiegare, ma alla fine questi animali mi sono stati presentati come lo specchio della fantasia, dell'estrosità della bambina, così come anche altri esseri viventi, per esempio i fiori.
Alice, o qualsiasi altra bambina o qualsiasi altro bambino, vive nella Natura ora, aanni di distanza, forse non sarà più così ed immersa in essa, ne vede un lato particolare che nessun altro adulto potrà mai cogliere, perchè la fanciullezza è ancora lontana, riparata da ciò che verrà con l'età adulta e cioè la perdita della visionarietà, della fantasia più sfrenata, astratta e surreale, data da un'educazione ad essere: ligio alle regole, al pragmatismo, alla concretezza.

Le bellissime illustrazioni poi, arricchiscono e non poco la narrazione, dando quel tocco artistico e immaginifico al racconto,
Vado a giocare a scacchi! Read both as a child, and again as an adult, Loved and appreciated it then love and appreciate it now,

A book everyone should read at least once, and one that I hope children are still reading today, THIS BOOK IS MY DREAM,

Its Alices Adventures in Wonderland, plus Through the LookingGlass and What Alice Found There, plus a ton of critical analysis and fun facts and biographical info and poetry and background and cultural and period information and bonus illustrations and basically all you need or could ever want to know, except if youre me and your love for and curiosity about Alice and Lewis Carroll and Wonderland will never be satiated.


And also its about a square yard and the font is tiny and it weighs aboutpounds and takes an eternity to read.


I loved this so much that it made my heart hurt to finish it, My version of paradise is probably something like this, where Im alternating between reading the original text I love more than anything and eloquent, wise, humorous elaboration on things I had never known.
The more I learned, the more I wanted to know,

I guess you could say I grewcuriouser and curiouser,

I love myself,

Anyway, my bookmark for this book was a foldedup sheet of lined paper on which I wrote down the titles and works of art and research queries I wanted to know more about as I read.
I filled up both sides of that sheet,

Absolutely every aspect of this book is gorgeous and curated and fascinating, I dont really know how to review this because it basically transcended reading for me,

It was just a perfect experience,

Bottom line: If you love Alice like I do, or really really like it, you need to read this book.
Its a gift. Thats all I can say,


prereview

i have never, in my entire life, cried in public over a book,

until today.

THIS BOOK MADE ME CRY IN PUBLIC!

more of a review to come



If youve been following me on Goodreads, you know I have a tradition of reading a classic novel at the beginning of every new year.
I always want to read more classics, and never do, so this is one of the few ways I can read more.
I adore the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, and have owned the book for years, but never read it,

Well this book really was like reading a fever dream, Not much of it really made sense to me and everything changed so fluidly, as if you were in a dream, Its easy to get sucked into the story and Carroll does have a very inventive mind, But I think this is one of those books where the legacy it created is better than the original please dont shoot me anyone.
I love the pictures included and will always be a fan of Alice in Wonderland, but not sure I will read anything else by Lewis Caroll.

Many thanks to HarperDesign for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review

the best part are all the interactive illustrations









sitelinkGoodreads sitelinkBlog sitelinkPinterest sitelinkLinkedIn sitelinkYouTube sitelinkInstagram My husband put it perfectly when he called this "David Lynch for kids.
" I talked about my first time reading this book in a sitelinkBooktube video! توی بخشی از داستان "آن سوی آینه" آلیس به جنگلی می رسه که هر کس واردش بشه فراموش میکنه کیه, آلیس كه یادش رفته آلیسه یه بچه آهو می بینه که اون هم یادش رفته آهوئه. با هم دیگه دوست میشن و دست در گردن هم دیگه قدم میزنن تا از جنگل خارج میشن. همین که از جنگل فراموشی خارج میشن بلافاصله آهو یادش میاد که آهوئه و آلیس انسانه وحشت می کنه و فرار می کنه.

این قسمت داستان من رو مبهوت کرد. ساختار داستان های "آلیس در سرزمین عجایب" جوریه که تقریبا هیچ معنا و مفهوم مستتری نداره. داستان رو در زمرۀ طنز بی معنا دسته بندی میکنن. بیشتر دیالوگ ها و وقایع کاملا بی معنان و به خاطر همین بی معنا بودنشون خنده آورن.

اما این قسمت معنای خیلی عمیقی داره. این که حقیقت ما غیر از عنوان و برچسبیه که جامعه به ما میزنه. بیشتر سوء تفاهم ها به خاطر همین برچسب هاست. تا وقتی آلیس و بچه آهو فراموش کرده بودن کی ان یعنی فراموش کرده بودن "عنوان" و "برچسب"شون از دید دیگران چیه رفقای صمیمی هم بودن ولی همین که یادشون اومد کی هستن و چه حد و مرزهایی براشون تعريف شده از هم وحشت کردن. By falling down a rabbit hole and stepping through a mirror, Alice experiences unusual adventures with a variety of nonsensical characters, Alice suddenly falls into a hole and sees an empty corridor, where she is, she does not know, Often she does not know if she is herself or maybe someone else In her dreams, Alice encounters many strange kings and queens, talking animals, a hatter, playing cards, a chessboard and many other strange creatures.
It is a fable wrapped in a fairy tale, The book includes many beautiful drawings and makes the story more vivid, It is quite confusing at times, but that is what makes the story this adventure,

This is a weird one, The more I read the more I'm okay with the weirdness, Does that say something about me I thought at first I wouldn't read it to my kids because it's too strange, but I'm thinking now I might.
They just might like it, We'll see how it ends, Am I lame that I've never read this before

Okay, done with them both, Alice in Wonderland was okay, Still weird. Weird and I didn't understand it, Through the Looking Glass took weird to a whole new level, A bad level. The whole time I was reading it I was thinking, "Is Carroll on crack This makes no sense, " And then I thought maybe I needed to be on crack to understand it, I've had crazy dreams sort of like this, all disjointed and random and all, but that doesn't mean I want to read a book about psycho dreams.
And what's up with shaking the poor kitten all the time

I might read Wonderland to the kids, I won't read Through the Looking Glass,

And does anyone really know what this all means Because if it's "just for fun", it wasn't, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what these books are about, Both Alice's stories are completely bonkers and very much loved, I've read them many, many times over the years, they are part of the reason I got hooked on reading as a child and remain among my favourites of all time.
Disney took elements of both the stories to create the classic Alice In Wonderland film, which was originally released on this day in.

Put on some Jefferson Airplane and read them if you haven't! Then Alice saw a large wall in the middle distance.
Someone was sitting on the top of it, When Alice had come within a few yards of it, she saw that the thing sitting on the wall had eyes and a nose and mouth and a large pile of golden hair and when she had come very close, she saw clearly that it was TRUMPTY DUMPTY himself.
"It must be him because thats what is written on his baseball cap," she said to herself, He was already speaking to her,

“They said I wouldnt build the wall and I built the wall, They were wrong because they werent right, Really really really great wall, ”
“Im sure it is,” said Alice, “What is it for”
“Believe me, this is the greatest wall there ever was,”
“Im sure it is,” said Alice, “but please, what is it for”
“The people, there were people, who said the wall would never be built, they were not smart people, as you see, the wall is right here, it is extremely extremely here, believe me.
”
“Yes, I do see that it is, but please,” said Alice, getting rather impatient, “what is it for”
“Those people, there were so many many of them, they said the wall was never ever ever going to be built, thats what they said, you can check that, its there in the record.
They were really really not smart those people, Everyone here can see that this is a great great day, That is what people are telling me, ”
“But " started Alice.
“We are making Wonderland great again, Really really great. Dozens, hundreds of people, have said that there would be no wall, No wall at all. They said it would never never never happen, You cant find those people any more because they are on the other side of the wall, Oh yes, there is another side of the wall, Really really other side. Can you hear them”
Trumpty put his hand to his ear, exaggeratedly listening, Alice listened hard too for a moment but could not hear a sound, except for Trumpty talking continually, She had by now given up trying to ask Trumpty Dumpty anything at all, It was as if he did not know what a conversation was,
“Its going to be amazing, really amazing, You will see Wonderland great again, So great. ”




Sorry about that, . I really just wanted to flag up that this Definitiveth Anniversary edition by Martin Gardner is exquisite and replaces all previous editions.
So if you have a birthday coming up, you could ask for this! And if you get it you'll have a smile that will take a really really great long time to fade away.
Believe me. .
