ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Open the . Hurry up! The clock is ticking!

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born in 1832, and was the third child of a family of eleven children. When he was a child, Charles was very good at writing word games and puzzles, and later he was also good at Latin and mathematics. He went to Rugby School, and then to Christ Church at the University of Oxford. He taught mathematics at Christ Church from 1855 until his death in 1898. His most famous work is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It began as a story told to a real little girl during a boat trip on the river one summer, and was published as a book in 1865. The story is full of clever word games and verses and is among the most famous children's books ever written. It is read by both adults and children and has been translated into many languages, made into plays for the theatre, and filmed many times. The characters in Alice's dream are now part of our language - we talk of people 'grinning like a Cheshire cat', or being 'as mad as a hatter'. And when anything strange happens, we often say, just like Alice in her dream, 'Curiouser and curiouser'.

THE AUTHOR AND THE BOOK

continue

Even though it is a children' book, it contains interesting and profound themes:TIME AND SPACE These are two concepts that human beings cannot live without and without which nothing makes sense to us. In this book, they lose all their importance in the underground world, where Alice’s adventures take place. GROWING UPAlice’s adventures are metaphors for the journey from childhood to adulthood. In fact, throughout the entire book Alice has to face a lot of new experiences that allow her to learn how to manage new situations. PERSONAL IDENTITY Alice during her experience in her underground world seems to lose her identity. This allows her to begin to question it.

THE real alice

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? A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky by Lewis Carroll

WHO STOLE THE TARTS?

Wake up with Alice and meet her sister, who in Lewis Carroll's book, starts dreaming about Alice's future life.

MEET ALICE'S OLDER SISTER

Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman ; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood ; and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago ; and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.

CONGRATULATIONS!
