Sinossi

In "Sylvie and Bruno," Lewis Carroll weaves a fantastical narrative that intertwines the whimsical and the philosophical. This novel presents a dual storyline: one follows the fairy-tale adventures of Sylvie and Bruno in a magical parallel world, while the other delves into the complex lives of characters in Victorian society. Carroll employs his characteristic playful and nonsensical literary style, laden with playful language and imaginative dialogues that invite readers to engage with deeper philosophical themes, including love, morality, and the nature of reality. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book reflects Carroll's keen interest in the intersection of childhood innocence and adult disillusionment, encapsulating a moment when the boundaries of literary genres were still fluid. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician, logician, and writer, renowned for his pioneering contributions to children's literature. His experiences as a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford, combined with his fascination for storytelling, inspired him to create enchanting worlds filled with both whimsy and rigorous thought. This unique blend of disciplines allowed him to craft narratives that resonate with both young readers and adults, making his works timeless. "Sylvie and Bruno" is highly recommended for those who appreciate literature that challenges conventional narratives while still embracing pure joy and playfulness. It offers a tapestry of imaginative experiences, providing insights into the complexities of human nature through the lens of childlike wonder. A journey through Carroll's intricately constructed worlds is sure to stimulate both the heart and intellect of its readers.

    Hidden within the forgotten grove of Sylvana, where herbalists brew elixirs from whispering leaves and wandering bards strum melodies that coax flowers to bloom, healer Elara discovers a kindred spirit in Finn, a bard exiled for songs that reveal too many truths. Their bond, sealed with a potion of moon-kissed petals and a lute string vow, awakens the grove's dormant magic—or risks a blight from jealous wood sprites. As they traverse dew-laced paths and canopy-shaded glens, pursued by echo thieves and floral guardians, Elara's herbal wisdom entwines with Finn's melodic charm, uncovering an ancient grove legend of harmonious bloom. When a silenced lute summons thorned illusions, they must brew their love into an antidote. In the hush of enchanted whispers, where every petal holds a note and every melody stirs the soil, their secret becomes the root that nourishes eternal spring.
