Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, commonly abbreviated as Alice in Wonderland, is a fantasy novel written by British mathematician, logician, photographer, and writer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, published in 1865. The story tells how a girl named Alice falls through a hole, finding herself in a peculiar world, populated by humans and anthropomorphic creatures. The book plays with logic, giving the novel great popularity in both children and adults. It is considered one of the best novels in the genre of Nonsense. Its narrative and structure, along with its characters, have been a great influence in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. In this work some of the most famous Lewis Carroll characters appear, such as the White Rabbit, the March Hare, the Hatter, the Blue Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat or the Queen of Hearts; who have become important enough to be recognized outside the world of Alice. Only 23 copies of the first edition of 1865 are preserved, of which 17 belong to different libraries, and the rest are part of the private collections of some readers. The book has a second, lesser-known part called 1871, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Several film adaptations combine elements of both books.
