Lewis Carroll

Jaime De Ojeda Eiseley

Escrito en 1865, " Alicia en el País de las Maravillas " es una obra que con el correr del tiempo se ha liberado de su estrecho ámbito original, vinculado a la literatura juvenil, para convertirse en un clásico de la literatura. Popularizado por las decenas de versiones que de él se han llevado a cabo, el relato que el reverendo Charles Dodgson, verdadero nombre de Lewis Carroll, escribiera para la niña Alicia Liddell, de diez años, es un delicioso entramado de situaciones verosímiles y absurdas, metamorfosis insólitas de seres y ambientes, juegos con el lenguaje y con la lógica y asociaciones oníricas que hacen de él un libro inolvidable que habría de tener una secuela equiparable, cuando no superior, en " Alicia a través del espejo " .

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.' 

'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. 

'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

"Found it," the Mouse replied rather crossly: "of course you know what it means."

"I know what it means well enough, when I find a thing," said the Duck: "it's generally a frog or a worm. The question is, what did the archbishop find?"

"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice: "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!"

So she went off in search of her hedgehog.

The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog, which seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one of them with the other: the only difficulty was, that her Flamingo was gone across to the other side of the garden, where Alice could see it trying in a helpless sort of way flying into a tree.

The executioner’s argument was, that you couldn’t cut off a head unless there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a thing before, and he wasn't going to begin at his time of life.

The Kings argument was that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and that you weren't to talk nonsense. 

The Queen's argument was that, if something wasn't done about it in less than no time, she’d have everybody executed, all round.
