Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles

Name: Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles
Author: Lewis Carroll

A young girl tumbles down a rabbit hole into a dreamlike realm where sizes, logic, and language constantly shift. She moves through a series of fantastical, self-contained episodes in which eccentric animals, anthropomorphic objects, and capricious authorities present riddles, absurd rules, and playful wordplay. Encounters feature transformations of scale, paradoxical conversations, a chaotic tea gathering, and a surreal trial, all staged with whimsy and satirical edge. The episodic structure highlights questions of identity and perception and the instability of meaning as the narrator navigates childlike curiosity within a world that subverts ordinary reasoning.
