Alice au pays des merveilles
Reads
Publié en 1865, "Alice au pays des merveilles" est une œuvre de littérature enfantine écrite par Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, sous le pseudonyme de Lewis Carroll. Assise au bord de la rivière, Alice s"ennuyait un peu quand soudain, venu de nulle part, surgit un lapin blanc pressé de regagner son terrier. N"hésitant pas à le suivre, Alice pénètre dans un monde de prodiges et de menaces qui n"est autre que le royaume de l"enfance. Et voici le chat de Cheshire à l"étrange sourire, la terrible Reine de Coeur, le Chapelier fou et le Lièvre de Mars, la Fausse Tortue et le Valet-Poisson...Le chef-d"oeuvre incontesté de l"humour absurde et du non sens. Une histoire inventée par un génie, où la vie n"a plus ni queue ni tête.

Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction set in a fictional universe, often inspired by real world myth and folklore. Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama. From the twentieth century it has expanded further into various media, including film, television, graphic novels, manga and video games. Fantasy is distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the absence of scientific or macabre themes respectively, though these genres overlap.
