The secret world of Lewis Carroll

Hello everyone!!

I don´t usually watch many documentaries, but a few months ago I watched one by the BBC about dance, wich I found very interesting, and since them I´ve seen several more. As Eli told us in class once, documentaries are a very good way to improve our english and they´re easier to undestand than a film or a TV series, and the BBC has great documentaries. They´re not just the typical ones about wildlife, they talk about many different subjects, and I´ve brought you one that I´ve found really interesting.

This documentary is about the life and figure of Lewis Carroll, the famous author of The adventures of Alice in Wonderland.It explores the personality of the writer, his childhood and youth, and the origins of his famous story. This book, due to its particularity, has been surrounded by a kind of mistery, directly related to his also misterious writer. There are a lot of theories about the psichology and personal life of Lewis Carroll, and how them are implicit in the characters he created. The main one, Alice, is said to be inspired by the real Alice Liddell, the youngest of three sisters with whose family Carroll had a special relationship.

I don´t want to spoil you the rest of the story, but I cheer you up to watch it. It is very interesting and I think you all will like it.
