Lettres adressées à Alice et à quelques autres

Alice au pays des merveilles est une œuvre de littérature enfantine écrite par Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, sous le pseudonyme de Lewis Carroll. Le livre foisonne d'allusions satiriques aux amis de l'écrivain et aux leçons que les écoliers britanniques devaient mémoriser à l'époque. Le pays des merveilles, tel qu'il est décrit dans le conte, joue sans cesse avec la logique.

Alice au Pays des Merveilles

Ils le traquèrent avec des gobelets ils le traquèrent avec soin Ils le poursuivirent avec des fourches et de l'espoir Ils menacèrent sa vie avec une action de chemin de fer Ils le charmèrent avec des sourires et du savon. Chef-d'oeuvre du nonsense, La Chasse au Snark embarque le lecteur dans les aventures merveilleusement inventives d'un curieux équipage en quête d'une créature insaisissable, moitié requin, moitié escargot. Questionné sur le sens profond de son poème, Lewis Carroll avoue : " J'ai bien peur de n'avoir eu en tête que des inepties ! Mais, concède-t-il, la meilleure signification que j'ai vue est... que tout le livre est l'allégorie de la recherche du bonheur. Je trouve que cela convient magnifiquement de bien des façons. "

Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. A MAD TEA-PARTY. There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. "Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse," thought Alice; "only, as it's asleep, I suppose it doesn't mind." The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: "No room! No room!" they cried out when they saw Alice coming. "There's plenty of room!" said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table. "Have some wine," the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. "I don't see any wine," she remarked. "There isn't any," said the March Hare. M Then it wasn't very eivil of you to offer it," said Alice angrily. "It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited," said the March Hare. "I didn't know it was your table," said Alice; "it's laid for a great many more than three." "Your hair wants cutting," said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech. "You should learn not to make personal remarks," Alice said with some severity: "it's very rude." The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on heaving this; but all he said was, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" "Come, we shall have some fun now!" thought Alice. "I'm glad they've begun asking riddles -- I believe I can guess that," she added aloud. "Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?" said the March Hare. "Exactly so," said Alice. "Then you should say what you mean, ..".

Onze ans après «Alice in Wonderland», Lewis Carroll publie «The Hunting of the Snarlt». Ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature anglo-saxonne composé comme un chant épique raconte la chasse d'une créature improbable par un équipage mal préparé et l'amour naissant d'un Castor et d'un Cuisinier. Cette traduction est la première qui restitue au plus près du possible les sons et les contraintes complexes de ce poème devenu hymne du «nonsense».

Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and tumbles into Wonderland: a topsy-turvy world of riddles and nonsense where animals answer back, a baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a disorderly tea party, croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. In a land in which nothing is as it seems and cakes, potions and mushrooms can make her shrink to ten inches or grow to the size of a house, will she ever find her way homeoe
