Light and easy summer read. I started a few pages in November but never went back to it.

Već neko vreme planiram da ponovo pročitam knjige koje su predviđene za mlađi uzrast, a koje imaju kultni status i to iz razloga što sam u tom, mlađem uzrastu, imao totalnu averziju prema čitanju knjiga koje nisu vezane za istoriju ili mitologiju.

Neko reče da je knjiga Lane Bastašić – Uhvati zeca, simbolički povezana sa Alisom u zemlji čuda, baš zbog belog zeca i zemlje čuda, pa sam bio dodatno motivisan da je pročitam kao neku vrstu mentalnog prequela pre čitanja knjige Uhvati zeca.

Knjižica, stotinak strana, bila je izazovnija nego što sam pretpostavio, jer i dalje imam problem sa vizualizacijom opisa u knjigama koje čitam, verovatno posledica čitanja istorijskih knjiga gde sam se fokusirao samo na činjenice i formulaciju sopstvenih pitanja koja su počinjala sa nekom od sledećih upitnih reči: ko, šta, gde, kad?

Upravo ova tendencija je učinila da se i ja osećam kao Alisa, i to ne u smislu da sam se investirao u knjigu i saživeo sa dešavanjima već često baš suprotno. Ja sam bio ona Alisa koja stoji ispred vrata koja su premala da kroz njih prođe.

Svašta nešto se dešava, previše je neuobičajenih pojava i bića i smisao i tok se gubi – jebeš to, bar što se mene tiče. Mislim da jedini efekat tog ludila koji je na mene ostavio efekat kakav je zamišljen verovatno za celu knjigu bila čajanka kod Ludog Šeširdžije i Martovskog Kunića. Tu je apsurd doveden do ludila, ali sam mogao da ispratim tok kojim taj apsurd ide. Što se ostalog tiče – not my cup of tea (pun very much intended).

I jasno mi je zašto mi je knjiga kao detetu bila preopterećujuća jer tada nisam mogao ni da „doprem“ do ključaonice onih istih vrata da bacim pogled na dešavanja iza njih te sam samo bio jako zbunjen nakon čitanja.

“Everyone is mad here” and that’s precisely what makes Alice in Wonderland such a timeless, delightful escape from reality. This whimsical journey through a world of nonsense and imagination thrives on its absurdity. From talking animals to vanishing cats and tea parties that never end, the story leans into chaos in the most entertaining way.

Rather than offering neat explanations or moral lessons, it invites you to embrace the bizarre, to laugh at the illogical, and to enjoy the ride. The beauty of Alice in Wonderland lies in how it turns madness into magic it’s nonsensical, surreal, and absolutely brilliant. A must-read (or watch) for anyone who dares to dream beyond the ordinary.

Curiouser and curiouser indeed...

Read while on holiday in Russia. Liquor stores and book stores are open 24 hours a day over there. SO you know the priorities of Russins (don't try to combine both though).
