O knihe

"Sylvie and Bruno" is a complex novel that blends elements of fairy tales, social commentary, and philosophical reflections. Written by Lewis Carroll, the renowned author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," this book was published in two volumes: "Sylvie and Bruno" in 1889 and "Sylvie and Bruno Concluded" in 1893. The story follows the adventures of two main characters, Sylvie and Bruno, who inhabit the borderland between the human world and the fairy world. Sylvie is a gentle and loving young girl, while Bruno is her younger brother, a boy with profound thoughts and a vivid imagination. The two children interact with characters from the real world as well as with fairy beings. The narrative is interspersed with poems, dialogues, and satirical commentary on various subjects, including education, religion, and politics. Lewis Carroll uses these elements to express his own opinions and critiques of the society of his time. For example, he addresses the challenges of child-rearing and how adults may sometimes lack understanding of young minds. One of Carroll's distinctive features is his wordplay and skillful use of language. In "Sylvie and Bruno," he continues to play with words and create absurd and fantastical situations that defy logic. Although "Sylvie and Bruno" did not achieve the same level of popularity as Alice's adventures, it remains appreciated for its unique combination of whimsy and deep reflection. The work offers readers an intellectually stimulating and entertaining literary experience while showcasing Lewis Carroll's characteristic ingenuity and style.
