James Matthew Barrie a créé Peter Pan en racontant des histoires aux fils de son amie Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, avec laquelle il entretenait une forte amitié. Ce vendredi soir, la voie est libre pour Peter Pan, le petit garçon qui refuse de grandir : M. et Mme Darling sont absents et la chienne Nana, qui tient lieu de nurse à leurs enfants Wendy, Jean et Michel, a été enchaînée dans le jardin. Venu récupérer son ombre abandonnée lors d'une précédente visite, Peter se trouve face à Wendy.
Avide des histoires qu'elle pourra lui raconter et du rôle de mère, fantasmé, qu'elle pourrait accomplir, il la persuade de le suivre jusqu'au pays imaginaire (Neverland)...
La période des fêtes de fin d'année se prête idéalement à la (re)découverte en version bilingue d' « Alice au Pays des Merveilles », le chef d'oeuvre de Lewis Carroll dont personne n'ignore le titre, mais que bien peu ont lu dans sa version originale. L'occasion est donc venue de le faire, avec l'assistance, indispensable pour beaucoup, de la traduction française effectuée par Henri Bué.
L'enregistrement sonore intégral en langue anglaise est disponible gratuitement sur notre site Internet (www.editions-vasseur.com), ce qui permet au lecteur d'améliorer sa prononciation en même temps que sa connaissance de la langue anglaise.
Pour en faire un cadeau aussi distrayant qu'instructif, cet ouvrage (format A4) est très richement illustré par les dessins de John Tenniel et Arthur Rackham qui ont accompagné depuis sa création l'oeuvre de Lewis Carroll.

Traité d'éducation, conte édifiant ou «gaminerie» divertissante ? Pinocchio ne se réduit pas à une seule lecture et il faut en apprécier les contradictions, les hésitations, les revirements.
Il s'agit bien d'«aventures» : quitter la certitude affective du foyer, courir vers l'inconnu, risquer jusqu'à sa vie. Si Pinocchio parvient à devenir un «petit garçon comme il faut», ce n'est pas sans quelques détours subversifs...
