Name: Sylvie and Bruno
Author: Lewis Carroll

Sylvie and Bruno is a novel written by Lewis Carroll written in two volumes, the first in 1889 and the second in 1893. It is the last novel published during the writer's lifetime.

The plot has two strands: the conspiracy against the warden of Outland, instigated by the under warden and the chancellor, and the love of a young doctor, Arthur, for Lady Muriel and in turn has two very different settings from each other.

The first has a realistic character and is set in the world of the time, during the Victorian era in Great Britain. This first part is a social novel in which concepts such as religion, society and philosophy are dealt with.

On the other hand, the second part has a fantastic touch and is set in Fairyland. It is a tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to the Alice in Wonderland books.

WHY READ SYLVIE AND BRUNO IN 2025?

136 years later, still timely

Carroll stitches dream and daylight, nonsense and social satire, into an experiment that keeps its playfulness while prodding at real-world pomposity. Puns sparkle, frames shift, and the book doubles as a lesson in form. It is stranger than Wonderland and, at times, wiser—an invitation to read with your ear and your conscience.

TODAY'S CONNECTION

Between multiverse talk and political theatre, this odd classic models how form can interrogate reality without losing delight.
