"I should rather have pie," said the Talking Doll. "But who blew the horn? That is what I'd like to know…"

In this book Alice meets the Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White and Red Queens, Humpty Dumpty, and the White Knight.The book contains the nonsense verse of the Jabberwock and the Walrus and the Carpenter.In Through the Looking-Glass, brooks and hedges divide the countryside into one giant chessboard, Alice plays the part of a pawn.In his stories, Carroll blurs the boundaries between being awake and being asleep so that it becomes difficult to tell where reality ends and dreaming begins.
Ces trois contes sont trois histoires extraordinaires o? le fantastique religieux illumine la vie quotidienne.La L?gende de saint Julien l’Hospitalier, c’est le Moyen Age, ses seigneurs passionn?s de chasse. Ses l?preux.H?rodias, c’est la Palestine au temps d’H?rode avec ses intrigues de palais, l’occupation romaine et la danse sensuelle de Salom? r?clamant la t?te de saint Jean-Baptiste. Un coeur simple, c’est enfin la Normandie ch?re ? Flaubert, Pont-l’Ev?que et Trouville. Une vieille servante y a v?cu et souffert. Elle finit par voir en son perroquet le Saint-Esprit lui-m?me.Trois chefs-d’oeuvre pleins de r?alisme, de d?licatesse et d’?motion.
