Disclaimer
Had I been Mr. Liddell, even when considering the different artistic values of the 1850s, Charles Dodgson would not have lived to hear of the end of the crimean war. Maybe, if I contained myself, he could “just” spend the rest of his life sitting down for his No.1s.
All this aside, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” is a very interesting read, which takes some stabs at the grown up world, while keeps a healthy dose of cuckoo bananas.
Never made the New York times best sellers list
It’s been more than 150 years (OK, 151, which is indeed more than 150) since Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was first published. During that time, the text and the original drawing achieved meme state, but also the derivatives (Disney movie, Jefferson Airplane song) originated multiple memes. Let’s see if we can map our high tech life to Alice quotes, as we already do to other canons as the bible, 9gag or Seinfeld.
