Another fun book. Excellent narration. ( ![]() Not nearly as good as Alice in Wonderland, this one's rather confusing and gloomy. Maybe at least this is in part due to the marginal commentary in this particular edition. The woodcuts are wonderful, though! Obsession. Una pena que buena parte de los juegos de palabras se pierdan en la traducción, pese al ímprobo esfuerzo del encargado de acometerla. Es improbable que muchas situaciones sean relacionadas, ni siquiera bien o mal, por un lector no anglosajón. Como cuento infantil, más allá del elenco de aventuras absurdas que vive Alicia, dista mucho de ser atractivo para los niños. Sin embargo: el autor lo escribió para niños y más concretamente pensando en Alicia; en el momento de su publicación tuvo un éxito nada desdeñable; intelectuales y científicos posteriores han llegado a conclusiones harto interesantes quizá sobreinterpretando el texto; ha sido apreciado por lectores de diversas lenguas; algunos de sus juegos y diálogos paradójicos han pasado a formar parte del acervo cultural de, al menos, eso que se llama civilización occidental; ... ¿Un enigma? En gran medida el enigma se resuelve con la lectura de la obra pues tanto la historia, su ritmo y sus matices son capaces de encandilar al lector. Algunas recomendaciones que un purista, fanático, prescribiría: - leer la obra en inglés - haber nacido en la segunda mitad del s. XIX - ser británico o conocer muy bien las tradiciones y costumbres británicas - leer el libro, al menos, en dos ocasiones: en la niñez y en la edad adulta O mejor que todo esto: leerlo cuando venga en gana, intentar disfrutarlo y entender aquello que se hace comprensible y el resto imagínese o invéntese. En definitiva, lo que hace cualquier lector, mal que pese a los autores, con cualquier obra. Another tale of Alice, this time going through the looking glass. Did not find this interesting or entertaining just a bunch of words that meant nothing. Maybe if I was 10 and reading this it might be more interesting or funny.
A continuation of a book that has proved very popular seldom is successful, and we cannot say that we think that Alice's last adventures by any means equal to her previous ones. Making every allowance for the lack of novelty, and our own more highly raised expectations, it seems to us that the paradies are slightly less delightfully absurd, the nonsense not so quaint, the transitions rather more forced. There is not that air of verisimilitude which somehow made the wildest improbabilities seem perfectly natural. Still with all this, in "Through the Looking-glass" the author has surpassed all modern writers of children's books except himself. To seek for a rival equally as deserving of the veneration of the nursery we must go back to the unknown genius that produced "Puss in Boots."
