the trip to Wonderland


This is a book that I read when i was 16 years old, at that age I already thaught about the life and the mysterious of the paths that it take. Thats why i fell in love with this old story. 

Alice in Wonderland - in spanish is 'Las aventuras de Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas'- was writen in 1865 by a british man: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, know as Lewis Carroll.

The story is about a small child, that falls in a hole and in the bottom she finds a magic world where the animals talk and the time is  broken down.

This book in known generally as a children's book, but is so much more than that. The story is created in small pieces of storys that take place in Wonderland,  those scenes shows an ironic sense of humor, or a social critic, and the most important is that he play with the logic, in the language and in the order of the facts.

Wile the story goes on, the reader meets different characters, every character has a particular personality, or has something interesting to tell.

This is one of my favorite book because when i read it I laugh a lot and algo think a lot. Well, I leave you a critic from Amazon.com .

 Hugs (: !!!

 

 

Amazon Review

Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense. For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.
