But Alice tends to become too involved with them. She has made their lives her life-a problem both for them and herself. The boundaries between providing compassionate care and getting too involved are already blurred, when one of her patients leaves her all his property and $125,000 and leaves his brother, who cared for him for nearly five years, nothing. Alice is faced with more than just trying to make sense of her life and getting over the terrible experience in medical school. She must contend with her patient's brother-and he is furious.
Book Synopsis The Making of Lewis Carroll's Alice and the Invention of Wonderland by : Peter Hunt
Download or read book The Making of Lewis Carroll's Alice and the Invention of Wonderland written by Peter Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass' are two of the most famous, translated and quoted books in the world. But how did a casual tale told by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll), an eccentric Oxford mathematician, to Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, grow into such a phenomenon?Peter Hunt cuts away the psychological speculation that has grown up around the 'Alice' books and traces the sources of their multi-layered in-jokes and political, literary and philosophical satire. He first places the books in the history of children's literature - how they relate to the other giants of the period, such as Charles Kingsley - and explores the local and personal references that the real Alice would have understood. Equally fascinating is the rich texture of fragments of everything from the 'sensation' novel to Darwinian theory - not to mention Dodgson's personal feelings - that he wove into the books as they developed.Richly illustrated with manuscripts, portraits, Sir John Tenniel's original line drawings and contemporary photographs, this is a fresh look at two remarkable stories, which takes us on a guided tour from the treacle wells of Victorian Oxford through an astonishing world of politics, philosophy, humour - and nightmare.

Book Synopsis When Alice Lay Down With Peter by : Margaret Sweatman
Download or read book When Alice Lay Down With Peter written by Margaret Sweatman and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Alice Lay Down with Peter is a sweeping, magical novel that follows four generations of the McCormack family through more than a century of Canadian history, as it unfolds on the flood plains of southern Manitoba. The story of Alice and Peter McCormack and their progeny is a glorious, witty, and intimate epic that truly reminds us that life stories not only include the details of the past, but also expand into the present and future, encompassing much more than the statistics of life and death would seem to admit. Narrated by Blondie McCormack--Alice and Peter’s daughter, who has just died at the age of 109--When Alice Lay Down with Peter is a novel that rejoices in the inevitability of change, and in the hauntings that reward our choosing to remember our own history. Just as When Alice Lay Down with Peter is a story of a family, it is a story of a particular place over time. Margaret Sweatman’s characters are never separate from the story of the land itself, or from the natural and political events that work away at its edges. The history of the McCormacks is a history of life on the land: of bountiful crops and devastating floods, the renewal of spring and the death that marks each fall. It is in the connection between the place and its inhabitants that we find the deceptively simple meaning of “home.” And it is to this conjoining of histories that Sweatman brings the lightning spark of her imagination, and out of which this wonderful novel has been born.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (FTSK Germersheim), language: English, abstract: 'Fantasy literature' is a term most people have come across at some point in their lives nowadays. [...] Since the recognition of fantasy as a literary genre, "most have treated it as an international and mainly Anglo-Saxon form" (Manlove:1999, 1). Therefore, it appears only reasonable to take a closer look at the sort of fantasy literature that originates from the English-speaking countries. [...] Some of the best known authors of fantasy literature are of English or Scottish origin. Both England and Scotland begot highly creative and sophisticated fantasists. And works of both English and Scottish fantasy have had a great impact on the entire genre. [...] Although they are neighbours and share a common language, English and Scottish fantasists have always had very different ways of expressing themselves. The aim of this dissertation is to point out the similarities as well as the differences of English and Scottish fantasy literature, in order to clarify what it is exactly that characterises them. As there are a great many different pieces of literature which provide material for the analysis and characterisation of Scottish and English fantasy, statements on the two shall be underlined with examples. [...] A famous English novel belonging to the fantasy genre is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (AAW) written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. It is often categorised as children's fantasy. One of the most famous pieces of Scottish fantasy literature, which was also written for children, is J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan (PP), published in 1911. These two books will serve as the basis for a comparison of English and Scottish fantasy literature. At the beginning of this dissertation, the attempt for a general definition of the term 'fantasy literature' will be made. This will be foll
Book Synopsis The Fabulous Journeys of Alice and Pinocchio by : Laura Tosi
Download or read book The Fabulous Journeys of Alice and Pinocchio written by Laura Tosi and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871) and Carlo Collodi's Le Avventure di Pinocchio (1883) are among the most influential classics of children's literature. Firmly rooted in their respective British and Italian national cultures, the Alice and Pinocchio stories connected to a worldwide audience almost like folktales and fairy tales and have become fixtures of postmodernism. Although they come from radically different political and social backgrounds, the texts share surprising similarities. This comparative reading explores their imagery and history, and discusses them in the broader context of British and Italian children's stories.
Book Synopsis The Philosopher's Alice by : Peter Heath
Download or read book The Philosopher's Alice written by Peter Heath and published by Saint Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 1974 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Heath's insightful annotations prove that the central concern of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass' is with the bounds of sense and the limitation of reason. Heath takes the reader on a fascinating walk through the thickets of philosophical blunders, logical fallacies, conceptual confusions and linguistic breakthroughs that decorate the landscape of Alice's world. As a result, Lewis Carroll is elevated to a place alongside such eminent philosophers as Bertrand Russell and Wittgenstein.
