Book Description
Alicia es una niña, en todo el sentido de la palabra; una curiosa, alegre y testaruda muchachita. Una tarde se encuentra con un Conejo vestido con saco y chaleco, que corre mirando un reloj, preocupado porque va tarde. Más allá de preguntarse cómo es que un Conejo viste saco y chaleco, lo que le causa curiosidad es ¿por qué el animalito iría tarde? Así que, sin importar a dónde la conducirá esta pregunta, se lanza por una madriguera que la lleva al País de las Maravillas, un lugar donde nada parece tener ningún sentido. Allí conocerá a un gato sonriente que se desvanece en el aire, a un Sombrerero dulce y perdido que busca reconciliarse con el Tiempo y a una Reina de corazones que es toda una tirana. Atrévete y acompaña a Alicia en esta asombrosa travesía de la mano de Lewis Carroll y descubre las grandes aventuras que te esperan en este increíble lugar.

Alicia en el país de las maravillas
Author: Lewis Carroll
Publisher: Siruela
ISBN: 9788478447602
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : es
Pages : 198
Book Description
«Otro mundo es posible» es una frase que se lee y escucha con cierta frecuencia en los últimos tiempos. El mundo que nos rodea, tal y como funciona, no acaba de satisfacer nuestros deseos y aspiraciones y, como en el poema de Goytisolo, deseamos un mundo al revés en que haya un lobito bueno maltratado por todos los corderos, un príncipe malo, una bruja hermosa y un pirata honrado. Pero poner las cosas patas arriba exige ejercer plenamente nuestra propia imaginación. En ese país de las maravillas podremos ir muy deprisa sin llegar a ningún lado o nos encontraremos con una Reina de Corazones que ejerce un poder tan despótico como arbitrario... Esas y otras muchas situaciones imposibles, narradas con incontables paradojas del lenguaje, son las que llenan las páginas en las que se cuentan las aventuras de Alicia en un maravilloso y sorprendente mundo subterráneo al que accede por azar.

Spanglish

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
With the release of the census figures in 2000, Latino America wasanointed the future driving force of American culture. The emergence of Spanglish as a form of communication is one of the more influential markers of an America gone Latino. Spanish, present on this continent since the fifteenth century, when Iberian explorers sought to colonize territories in what are now Florida, New Mexico, Texas, and California, has become ubiquitous in the last few decades. The nation's unofficial second language, it is highly visible on several 24-hour TV networks and on more than 200 radio stations across the country. But Spanish north of the Rio Grande has not spread in its pure Iberian form. On the contrary, a signature of the brewing "Latin Fever" that has swept the United States since the mid-1980s is the astonishing creative linguistic amalgam of tongues used by people of Hispanic descent, not only in major cities but in rural areas as well -- neither Spanish nor English, but a hybrid, known only as Spanglish.

Pages : 416
Book Description
Several years after the events of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, Alice finds herself back in Wonderland and called upon to save the world of playing cards and talking animals from the increasingly deranged Queen of Hearts. But all is not as it first appears in the fluctuating dream world and soon Alice is battling to save herself from the nightmare that is rapidly overtaking the realm. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Alice hadn't drunk from the bottle labelled 'Drink Me', or if she hadn't joined the Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse for tea? Well now you can find out. In Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland, YOU decide which route Alice should take, which perils to risk, and which of Wonderland's strange denizens to fight. But be warned - whether Alice succeeds in her quest or meets a dire end as the nightmare escalates will be down to the choices YOU make. Are you ready to go back down the rabbit-hole? This luxury illustrated cloth-bound Demy hardback is an unnumbered limited edition of just 80 copies, and features ruby-red endpapers front and back, gold stamped foil on white cloth on front, back and spine, saddle-stitched binding with head and tail bands, and Kev Crossley's sketchbook including sketches that did not appear in the main edition as an additional 23-page illustrated section.
