    • A book that made my childhood. To read first in English and then in translation: some translators are wonderful acrobats and this book is a challenge for every translator. But you can come out alive.

    • Alice nel paese delle meraviglie secondo me fa viaggiare con la fantasia, fa divertire, il cappellaio matto, il bianconiglio, lo stregatto, fanno divertire tantissimo.

    • Beh, molti non saranno d'accordo con me. Però dal mio punto di vista trovare la prosa surreale di Lewis Carroll unita alle spiegazioni scientifiche di Martin Gardner è qualcosa che non ha prezzo. Per comprare il libro c'è sempre Mastercard :-)

      Alice continua a conquistare grandi e piccini da quando sono state scritte le sue avventure. Mi sono quindi avvicinata a questo libro con delle aspettative molto alte, che in parte sono state deluse. Si tratta di un'opera che intrattiene nel senso più blando del termine e si lascia leggere piuttosto agevolmente. Tuttavia, le parodie e i giochi di parole mi hanno lasciato abbastanza indifferente, ma probabilmente questo è dovuto al fatto che le avventure di Alice sono profondamente legate alla cultura inglese, cultura che conosco ma alla quale non appartengo.
      Nonostante questi difetti, si tratta di un libro da leggere assolutamente per chi decide di avvicinarsi, per studio o per piacere, alla letteratura per l'infanzia.

    • A boat, beneath a sunny sky
      Lingering onward dreamily
      In an evening of July -

      Children three that nestle near,
      Eager eye and willing ear,
      Pleased a simple tale to hear -

      Long has paled that sunny sky:
      Echoes fade and memories die:
      Autumn frosts have slain ... Continue

      A boat, beneath a sunny sky
      Lingering onward dreamily
      In an evening of July -

      Children three that nestle near,
      Eager eye and willing ear,
      Pleased a simple tale to hear -

      Long has paled that sunny sky:
      Echoes fade and memories die:
      Autumn frosts have slain July.

      Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
      Alice moving under skies
      Never seen by waking eyes.

      Children yet, the tale to hear,
      Eager eye and willing ear,
      Lovingly shall nestle near.

      In a Wonderland they lie,
      Dreaming as the days go by,
      Dreaming as the summers die:

      Ever drifting down the stream -
      Lingering in the golden gleam -
      Life, what is it but a dream?

Book Description

Journey to Wonderland and through the Looking Glass with Alice. Meet the unforgettable characters of these two magical books, collected in one volume: the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and many others. Nothing is ordinary in the surprising worlds Alice finds herself in! Lewis Carroll's (1832-1898) popular books about Alice marked a turning point in children's literature--for the first time, children's stories were primarily for fun, rather than for instruction or moralizing.
