    Sylvie and Bruno (Dramatic Reading)

    Rate this audiobook

    Chapter: 26 | Listen: 1

    Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and its 1893 second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. Both volumes were illustrated by Harry Furniss. The novel has two main plots; one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll’s Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.     [chương_files]

    Lewis Carroll’s most enduring works are the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, but he also wrote some very interesting poetry. The poems in this particular volume are called “serious” in the preface, and though they are written in Lewis Carroll’s accessible style, they are addressed to adults, with many of the poems having themes such as love and death. – Summary by Carolin     [chương_files]

    Chapter: 1 | Listen: 1

    This is a whimsical poem that takes the reader on a sailing hunt for the mythical Snark. The Bellman, the Butcher, the Baker, the Beaver and others named and unnamed provide a fast-paced, almost maniacal, romp to find the elusive Snark. In the reading, you begin to suspect that Dr. Seuss may have found some inspiration from Carroll. The reading is a fast ride of thirty minutes and is suitable for children and adults alike.

    Chapter: 5 | Listen: 1

    La entrada de Alicia en el panorama de las letras castellanas se produjo, en realidad, el 15 de noviembre de 1914 con la primera entrega de una versión que vio la luz en las páginas de una revista juvenil editada en Madrid, Los Muchachos. Semanario con regalos. (El curioso subtítulo de la publicación se explica porque incluía cupones para unos sorteos de juguetes y libros entre los lectores). La serie se prolongó en ocho entregas dominicales hasta el 5 de enero de 1915. El texto abreviado parece conceder más importancia a los capítulos iniciales y finales, así como al de la Merienda de Locos. Va acompañado de veintiséis ilustraciones firmadas por F. Mota (ocho portadas a dos tintas y dieciocho dibujos interiores en blanco y negro) que parecen influidas, en algunas composiciones, por los dibujos originales de John Tenniel. En cuanto a los autores de la versión, sabemos con respecto al ilustrador que F. Mota es el nombre con el que firmaba sus trabajos el pintor ceutí Fernando Fernández Mota, colaborador habitual de diversas publicaciones madrileñas a finales del siglo xix y principios del xx. Del traductor, en cambio, seguimos sin noticias. (Summary by Phileas Fogg)     [chương_files]

    Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (also known as Alice Through the Looking-Glass or simply Through the Looking-Glass) is an 1871 novel by Lewis Carroll and the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic. Alice becomes a player in a game of chess and works her way up to becoming a queen. On her way across the board she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, recites the classic poems, “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, amongst many more. She also demonstrates her ability at mathematics to her new found friends, the red and white queens. The mirror that Alice ventured through is still on display in Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire. Do not let your children too close!!! Warning!! Do not listen to this audio recording without looking at these classic images by ‘John Tenniel’; they will put everything into reverse perspective.
