Massimiliano Longo. Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie

Massimiliano Longo draws a more mature Alice, a teenager who lives the adventure in Wonderland with a higher consciousness, without  loosing the freshness of childhood of Lewis Carroll's Alice. The drawings, made by simple pencil lines, represent scenes rich in details which become almost  photographic pictures in the colour plates. The whole characters are very realistic to confirm the idea that at the end of the Rabbit hole begins a Wonderland as real as our land.

Guido Stagnaro. Alice nel paese delle meraviglie.

Alice goes through the screen to come back into a book. At the hand of the director Guido Stagnaro, in fact, in the mid-seventies, Carroll's story ends up on Italian TV. At the same time, from this beautiful drama titled Nel mondo di Alice was taken an illustrated book with photographs from some scenes. These pictures have nothing to envy to the best illustrations. The sets, beautiful costumes, makeup and facial expression of the actors create suggestive pictures which accompany the adventure of our heroine from Oxford.

Rébecca Dautremer. Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie.

In the interpretation of the french artist Rébecca Dautremer, Alice experiences an adventure which lasts the time of a dream in a land with a gloomy atmosphere. The calm and the silence reign for the whole narration and the noisy Caucus Race lowers its tone. It seems as if the chatter was absorbed by the surrounding waters. To break this peace, the artist introduces some unexpected events which leave the audience out of breath. The viewer, in fact, without notice, is catapulted into the scene or thrown out of it by a refined and unusual perspective.

Edizioni Anarchismo. Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie.

In every edition of Wonderland we meet a new Alice, but in the Edizioni Anarchismo's edition there is not a trace of the English little girl. She doesn't appear neither in the text nor in the pictures. Alice and Wonderland, in fact, in this little book, are transformed in a sort of symbol or, to be precise, metaphor of the struggle for national liberation.
