Topic: Alice (Alices Adventures in Wonderland)


  
  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children's literature by the British mathematician and author Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.
By this perspective, at its essence, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is not a dream but a surreal nightmare involving loss of control, inability to communicate or reason, rampant uncontrolled change of one's self and everything around, and a total inability to gain any foundation in the world.
Alice and the rest of Wonderland continue to inspire or influence many other works of art to this day—sometimes indirectly; via the Disney movie, for example.

As they walked off together, Alice heard the King say in a low voice, to the company generally, `You are all pardoned.' `Come, THAT'S a good thing!' she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy at the number of executions the Queen had ordered.
Alice did not quite like the look of the creature, but on the whole she thought it would be quite as safe to stay with it as to go after that savage Queen: so she waited.
Alice was very nearly getting up and saying, `Thank you, sir, for your interesting story,' but she could not help thinking there MUST be more to come, so she sat still and said nothing.

Alice was not much surprised at this, she was getting so used to queer things happening.
Alice waited a little, half expecting to see it again, but it did not appear, and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live.
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head.

Alice knew it was the Rabbit coming to look for her, and she trembled till she shook the house, quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as large as the Rabbit, and had no reason to be afraid of it.
Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.
Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down «stupid things!» on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell «stupid,» and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him.

 Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
Alices's Adventures in Wonderland appeared under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll, in 1866 and was joined by Through the Looking Glass in 1872.
As Hugh Haughton writes in his Introduction, 'Carroll should be played with modernist novelists Proust, Joyce and Woolf, as well as the Oedipal father of modern childhood, the psychoanalyst Freud, as part of a cultural movement placing the child's story at the heart of adult culture'.
This edition also reproduces Carroll's manuscript version Alice's Adventures under Ground (1864) with pencil illustrations by the author and reprints his essay 'Alice on the Stage' written for The Theatre in 1887.
