A Brief Introduction to Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland (English: Alice in Wonderland, usually abbreviated as Alice in Wonderland) is a children's literature work, which was published by British mathematician Charles Lutevich Dodgson under the pseudonym Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Alice, the protagonist of the story, fell into a dream world full of anthropomorphic animals from the rabbit hole and met all kinds of talking animals. This fairy tale was published in 1865 and has been deeply loved by readers of different ages. Alice in Wonderland is a typical example of "fantasy literature" and one of the most influential fairy tales. Translated and published in 174 languages.

summary

Alice, a lovely English girl, found a talking white rabbit with a pocket watch when she was bored. She chased it and accidentally fell into a rabbit hole, thus falling into the magical underground world.

In this world, a sip of water can shrink to the size of a mouse, and eating a cake can turn you into a giant. Eating the same mushroom on the right will make you shorter, and eating it on the left will make you taller. In this world, it seems that everything you eat is strange.

She also met many people and animals: Dodo, Lizard Bill, Cheshire cat, Mad Hatter, March Rabbit, Dormouse, Mock Turtle, Gryphon and Ugly Duchess.

In the big garden behind the small door, she met a whole deck of playing cards, including the rude queen of hearts, the kind king of hearts and the swaggering Jack of hearts.

Alice helped the rabbit find the lost fan and gloves. Later, she helped three gardeners escape the persecution of the Red Queen. She also protested loudly in the absurd court that the king and queen framed good people.

In this fantastic and crazy world, it seems that only Alice is a sober person. She kept exploring and asked "Who am I?". In the process of exploration, she constantly knows herself and grows. When she finally grew into a "big" girl, she suddenly woke up and found that all this was a dream of her own.

Creation background

Lewis carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, was originally named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. As an English writer in the19th century, he was also a church deacon and a math teacher at the Christian College of Oxford University. Besides Alice in Wonderland, she also wrote many mathematical works and prose works.

He was shy by nature, suffered from severe stuttering and lived a single life. However, he has a wide range of interests and is quite accomplished in novels, poems, mathematical logic puzzles, children's photography and so on.

1one day in the summer of 862, carol led the three daughters of the dean of Christ College in Oxford University to go boating on the Thames. While having a tea break by the river, he made up a fantastic story for the children. The name of the protagonist comes from Alice, the cleverest and lovely seven-year-old among the sisters. ?

After returning home, Carol wrote the story at Alice's request and gave it to Alice herself. Soon after, the novelist Henry Kingsley found the manuscript, and he was surprised by the imagination of the story. With his encouragement, Carol further polished the story and published it on 1865 with the title Alice in Wonderland.

comment

The New Creative Review [8] points out that Alice in Wonderland (and Alice's Adventures in the Mirror) is not a children's book at all and should not be classified as absurd literature. Alice in Wonderland has two main lines: logic and philosophy of language.

For more than 100 years, China people, including Mr. Zhao Yuanren, the first linguist who translated Alice in Wonderland, completely misunderstood Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's "Children's Story". Carlo's logic and mathematics thoughts tend to be traditional and conservative, but in the aspect of language philosophy, Carlo's game rules theory is half a century earlier than Wittgenstein's.
