(Audiobook) "I think I should understand that better," Alice said very politely, "if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it." The same from me to Lewis Carroll! ( )

Las aventuras de Alicia en el país de las maravillas, comúnmente abreviado como Alicia en el país de las maravillas, es una novela de fantasía escrita por el matemático, lógico, fotógrafo y escritor británico Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, bajo el seudónimo de Lewis Carroll, publicada en 1865. La historia cuenta cómo una niña llamada Alicia cae por un agujero, encontrándose en un mundo peculiar y extraño, poblado por humanos y criaturas antropomórficas. La novela juega con la lógica, lo que le dio una gran popularidad tanto en niños como en adultos. Está considerada una de las mejores novelas del género del Sinsentido. Su narrativa y estructura, junto con sus personajes, han sido una gran influencia tanto en la cultura popular como en la literatura, sobre todo en el género fantástico. ( )

I have a very deep and meaningful relationship with this book because my mother read it to me when I was a child over and over and I just couldn’t get enough of it and I still can’t. I can honestly say this is one of the best books ever written. ( )

On an ordinary summer's afternoon, Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters, she meets a grinning cat and a rabbit with a pocket watch, joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land, Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute...

Epigraph
All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretense
Our wanderings to guide

Ah, cruel Three! In such an hour,
Beneath such dreamy weather,
To beg a tale of breath too weak
To stir the tiniest feather!
Yet that can one poor voice avail
Against three tongues together!

[plus another five verses]
Dedication
First words
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
Quotations
And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); ...
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spread his claws,
And welcome little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
'Ahem!' said the Mouse with an important air, 'are you all ready? This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! "William the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was soon submitted to by the English, who wanted leaders, and had been of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Edwin and Morcar, the earl of Mercia and Northumbria -"'
'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,
'And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head -
Do you think, at your age, it is right?'

Haiku summary
Down the rabbit hole,
Alice ponders madness that
unfolds strange places.
