 ... om den rent språkligt är en skattkista, saknar Carrolls välskakade cocktail egentlig handling. Och häri ligger utmaningen. These two novels by Lewis Carroll differ from his other fiction in a number of ways in addition to having their own indexes. Each of them, for example, is several times as long as either of the Alice books; but more importantly, the Sylvie and Bruno books were written with a moral—something studiously avoided in the Alice books and almost all of Carroll's other fiction written during his adult years.... Sadly, when the Sylvie and Bruno books have been reprinted in those one-volume tomes purporting to be 'The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll', the indexes to Sylvie and Bruno are regularly omitted. The publishers either do not appreciate their importance and novelty, or, more likely, do not wish to incur the expense of adjusting the page references. In at least one of his works, Sylvie and Bruno, Lewis Carroll showed that he had mastered the art of indexing, Victorian style. The first part of the work was published in 1889 by Macmillan in London and had an index whose whimsicality perfectly fitted the equally whimsical text, though it occupied only five of the book's 400 pages. Four years later, there appeared Sylvie and Bruno concluded, and this time, Carroll provided it with a 'General index' of 21 pages which included most of the entries for volume I as well as entries for volume II.

Fiction.
HTML: Sylvie and Bruno is set in Victorian England and in Fairyland, each setting with their own narrative. The fairytale aspect of the novel is similar to Carroll's Alice stories, but the "real world" narrative is more philosophical. Carroll joins the discussion about modern religion, society and morality. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche

1/4 (Bad).
In the preface, Carroll talks about how important writing something original was to him. He implies that that means finding a completely new way to write a book. He does not, however, concern himself with finding a SUCCESSFUL new way to write a book. And to be fair, he's up front about that. (
