Slide text: The story of a picnic Early in the morning, the five participants of this picnic met not far from the house with two turrets in the corners, on the door of which there was a plate sparkling with brass: "Reverend C. L. Dodgson." They went down to the Thames, got into the boat, put off. Dodgson and Duckworth rowed. Alice was on the steering wheel. They sailed past a backwater where sleepy cows stood knee-deep in cool water, past the gray ruins of Godstow Monastery, past the Trout Tavern.


Slide text: - A fairy tale! the girls shouted. - Mr. Dodgson, tell us a story! Dr. Dodgson is already accustomed to these requests. As soon as he saw the Liddell girls, they immediately demanded a fairy tale from him - and necessarily his own composition. He told them so much that it became more and more difficult to invent each time. “I remember very well,” Dr. Dodgson wrote many years later, “how in a desperate attempt to come up with something new, I first sent my heroine underground down the rabbit hole, completely without thinking about what would happen to her next.” The heroine of Dr. Dodgson bore the same name as the middle of the sisters, his favorite Alice.


Slide text: - Let there be more nonsense, okay? The afternoon was already beginning to decline, and Dr. Dodgson told everything. From time to time he stopped and said: - That's enough for today, the rest - after! - After already arrived! the girls shouted with one voice.

Slide #20


Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (this is Carroll's real name) was born in a small village in Cheshire. big family parish priest: there were 7 girls and 4 boys in the family. He began to study at home, proved to be smart and quick-witted. All kinds of games and fun activities were encouraged in the family. Charles made a puppet theater, wrote plays for him and played them himself, published them for brothers and sisters handwritten magazines.


In 1851, Carroll moved to Oxford, where he entered Christ Church, one of the most aristocratic colleges at Oxford University. He had outstanding mathematical abilities. He graduated with honors from college in two faculties: mathematics and classical languages. He won a competition for giving mathematical lectures at Christ Church. He read them for 26 years, they gave a good income, although they were boring to him. He was a professor of mathematics, wrote solid works on mathematics. In 1851, Carroll moved to Oxford, where he entered Christ Church, one of the most aristocratic colleges at Oxford University. He had outstanding mathematical abilities. He graduated with honors from college in two faculties: mathematics and classical languages. Won a competition for math lectures at Christ Church. I read them for 26 years, they gave a good income, although they were boring to him. He was a professor of mathematics, wrote solid works on mathematics.






In 1862, during a boat trip, Carroll began to tell the Liddell girls, the daughters of his colleague, the tale of the adventures of Alice, named after his favorite, ten-year-old Alice Liddell. Later, Alice asked Carroll to write down a fairy tale for her: "Let her be full of all sorts of nonsense." "Follies" or nonsense, were present along with traditional adventures.




So who is she, the heroine of this mysterious book? Alice is a little Englishwoman of the middle of the 19th century. At home, she is diligently brought up, taught: mathematics, music, dancing, needlework, croquet, and the obligatory rules of decency. "Exemplary girl" knows and knows a lot. But how useful will it be in her life? Won't complex reality seem like a paradoxical wonderland to a child brought up in a greenhouse atmosphere, who was taught from infancy that the world is stable and uncomplicated, you just need to follow the rules of good manners and study well?


All the moralizing verses were jumbled up in Alice's head. It turned out that they have little meaning and they are not connected with life. But anything can happen in life: an unfair trial and execution, madness and loneliness, and a child can turn into a real pig! And it happens that you feel bad, scared, sad, and some adult caterpillar gives advice: “Pull yourself together.” And you begin to understand that there is a difference between just words and real help.


Such is he, the world where Alice enters. But she is a brave and determined girl. And the moment comes when she throws to her pursuers: “You are just - simply a deck of playing cards!”. Lewis Carroll believes in a child, in a man of the future who will grow up big and change the world.


For more than a hundred years there have been disputes about this book: they explain, interpret, search for hidden meanings. Researchers agree on one thing: the book has a double "address": it is designed for two levels of perception - children's and adults. In Carroll's fairy tales, old images from folk tales, songs, proverbs. The scientific type of thinking was also embodied in fairy tales. Therefore, logicians, mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, psychologists find in Alice material for scientific reflection.



Quotes from "Alice in Wonderland" "You need to run as fast just to stay in place, and to get somewhere, you have to run at least twice as fast" "You can always take more than nothing" "Don't grunt, express your thoughts in some other way" "Think about the meaning, and the words will come by themselves" "If you don't know what to say, speak French" "I have heard such nonsense, next to which this nonsense is reasonable, like an explanatory dictionary"
