商品の説明

Although there have been many illustrated editions of Alice, rarely has one been done in Lewis Carroll's own visual medium of photography. Abelardo Morell, quickly gaining recognition as one of the major American photographers of our time, is the ideal artist to take on this challenge. His early photographs of illustrated books are striking images of worlds within worlds that in their alterations of an illustration's space and shape have the distinct flavor and mystery of Wonderland. So too do his oversize camera obscura images--magical, cityscape projections that have received national attention--mirror Carroll's own passion for upside-down and multiple worlds. For Alice, Morell goes further, photo-graphing the Tenniel characters and then staging them in evocative three-dimensional settings. In his fascinating introduction, historian and critic Leonard S. Marcus offers a glimpse into the intriguing connection between Lewis Carroll's pioneering efforts as a photographer and his timeless contributions to the world of nonsense. Marcus shows in what ways Lewis Carroll and Abelardo Morell are kindred spirits in the fierce delight they take in the crazy patchwork quality of life and in their shared belief that nonsense makes the best sense of all.

"And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

Taking to heart his charming, insatiably curious heroine's words, Lewis Carroll worked many long hours (days, months...) with illustrator Sir John Tenniel to create the most perfect pictures imaginable for what were to become instant classics: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. When thinking about Alice and her dreamy surrealistic adventures down the rabbit hole and behind the looking-glass, who can help picturing the golden-haired girl in her lilac dress and striped stockings, gazing up at the Cheshire Cat or arguing with Tweedledum and Tweedledee? Tenniel's drawings remained black and white for over 40 years until 1911, when eight prints in each book were hand colored. Now, for the first time, every remaining illustration has been colored, making these the first editions to feature all of the original art in full color. Traditionalists need not worry: colorist Diz Wallis colored proofs taken from Tenniel's carefully preserved woodblocks, remaining faithful to his original drawings. The beautiful tones of these new hardcover editions look as natural as can be; they could just as easily be from the 19th century. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

カスタマーレビュー

アメコミ風アリス
ラッカムのアリスはテニエルに比べるとちょっとおとなっぽいのかな？と思います。ちょっと淡めの色使いがいいです。個人的には。
私はラッカムの描くかえるがとっても気に入っています。めっちゃかわいい！他の動物たちもいいですよ。もちろん。 私はまた非常に読むことを推薦する--The Fates by Tino Georgiou!
