Alicia en el país de las maravillas
by Lewis CarrollAlicia en el país de las maravillas Lewis Carroll Nos encontramos ante un clásico moderno. Y en cierta manera también delante de un libro de culto; ante un monumento a la sin-razón, a los juegos de lógica, al universo mágico de los niños -un mundo en el que las flores hablan, los animales establecen diálogos con las personas, un mundo escondido que descubrimos tras penetrar por la madriguera del Conejo Blanco, o bien al "Otro lado de espejo". Esta es una forma de mirar la existencia que el paso de los años, la educación, el lenguaje formal y las costumbres sociales hacen desaparecer de la memoria; pero que una infusión de hongos, como los que la Oruga entrega a Alicia, permiten adentremos nuevamente en este mágico mundo subterráneo de la imaginación, carente de la lógica del mundo cotidiano, enel que todo cobra existencia y conciencia... En cierto modo Alicia es un libro y muchos a la vez. Es quizás por esto que ha tenido tal repercusión. Miles de lectores se han zambullido en su mundo, generación tras generación, apasionándose por los mil y un rincones enigmáticos y fascinantes del libro. Su autor, apasionado por los juegos de lógica, se valió del lenguaje de los cuentos para plasmar un universo lleno de juegos de palabras, de situaciones imposibles, de acertijos sin fin. Y a partir de aquí también edificó una sutil pero demoledora crítica a los roles de la sociedad, al aspecto formal y superficial de la convivencia humana, creando un cosmos en el que los animales ven con extrañeza y horror al mundo de los humanos, en el que la Naturaleza protesta y rebuzna ante tanta petulancia y soberbia; pero al mismo tiempo también una oportunidad para descubrir cosas nuevas, para recrear, jugar y danzar con nuevos compañeros y conocidos.

Anderson's Alice: Walter Anderson Illustrates Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
by Lewis CarrollAmong Walter Anderson's best-loved books, An Alphabet and Robinson: The Pleasant History of an Unusual Cat are much admired by children and parents, and have long been given as special gifts emblazoned with Anderson's unique art. In that vein and long in demand is this revived edition of Anderson’s Alice, which carries the renowned artist's visual translation of Lewis Carroll's classic story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Anderson's Alice, though, is no Victorian doll as she is in the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham, and elsewhere. Instead, Anderson represents Alice as an adventurer, capturing her spirit and her energy in bold lines. In Anderson's Alice: Walter Anderson Illustrates “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” ninety-two pen-and-ink drawings accompany the complete text of Lewis Carroll's original narrative. Anderson (1903–1965) drew them alone late at night as he recovered from an illness, and he considered them to be translations of words into visual images rather than illustrations. The story of Alice brought him comfort and inspiration, and he placed her wonderland close to his own homeland by localizing Alice's environment with backgrounds featuring the kinds of wildflowers and crabs that are native to the Gulf Coast. Walter Anderson, often intensely private within his community of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, observed and wrote about nature and produced thousands of drawings and watercolors of the plant and animal life on the Mississippi Coast. These show his strangely beautiful style and a rich and unchecked imagination. With these artistic gifts, Anderson infuses new life into Lewis Carroll's well-loved characters, who have delighted generations of children and adults.
Aventures d'Alice au Pays des Merveilles: Large Print
by Lewis CarrollThe first French translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (there have been no less than seventeen others) was supervised by Lewis Carroll himself. In the opinion of many experts, and countless older and younger French readers, it is still the best. It has a remarkable freshness and originality, and admirably renders the English puns and parodies with French equivalents. "How Doth the Little Crocodile?" for instance, is turned into a parody of La Fontaine, the staple of French lesson books.Carroll picked Henri Bué as translator on the recommendation of Bué's father, who was an Oxford colleague. The younger Bué was just at the beginning of his career, and Carroll could not have known that he would go on to distinguish himself both as a translator and as an author and editor. Bué worked rapidly, and had the translation done in a couple of months. Carroll, on the other hand, spent another two years making certain of it. He solicited the opinions of many friends to test the puns and verses. The prose he seems to have been able to judge for himself, and he wrote to his publisher that he was highly pleased with it. This reprinting of the first edition is complete with the forty-two Tenniel illustrations that were originally included. Of course it is not just for French readers. As one London reviewer, who called it "a delicious translation," remarked: "We could almost (almost, but not quite) wish we had never read it in English, in order to have the pleasure of reading it in French." He went on to say: "It is an exquisite book in appearance, the same size, type, and illustrations as the original volume; and the fun is wonderfully preserved." He also pointed out that it would be a great help to the "young folks in their studies." That is as true today as it was a hundred years ago, for the charm of the French Alice, like that of the original, has only grown with time.
