Titre : Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through The Looking-Glass Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) , Auteur
Editeur : Hertfordshire : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 2001 Collection : Wordsworth Classics Importance : 288 p. Présentation : illustrations en noir et blanc, couverture illustrée en couleurs Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85326-002-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 3 Culture:3.40 Littérature:Forme et genre littéraire:Fiction:Fantastique
3 Culture:3.40 Littérature:JeunesseRésumé : This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were.
Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.Public : 9 ans + Nature du document : fiction Cycle(s) concerné(s) : cycle 3 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through The Looking-Glass [texte imprimé] / Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), Auteur . - Hertfordshire : Wordsworth Editions, 2001 . - 288 p. : illustrations en noir et blanc, couverture illustrée en couleurs ; 20 cm. - (Wordsworth Classics) .
