Pocos años despues de la aparición de "Alicia en el país de las maravillas", LEWIS CARROL publicaría, como segunda parte, A TRAVÉS DEL ESPEJO Y LO QUE ALICIA ENCONTRÓ AL OTRO LADO, superior a la primera en la utilización de la técnica narrativa y el dominio de las formas expresivas. Los juegos de palabras, las parodias ocultas y las paradojas lingüísticas son llevados hasta sus últimas posibilidades, de manera tal que la fórmula literaria del absurdo llega al agotamiento con este último viaje de Alicia. Cuento pensado para los niños pero leido -y citado hasta el cansancio- por los adultos.

This book has a very controversial past, due to offensive wording. From Wikipedia: "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in 1884. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism."
