A Wonderland to Treasure: Lopytun's Gothic Gem
I've been obsessed with 'Alice in Wonderland' since I was a kid. I had this tiny Soviet edition that I found in a storage room on my grandparents' dacha. I must have read it a dozen times every summer, and when I went back to my family's house as a grown-up, the book was nowhere to be found. I'm guessing it ended up with one of my relatives, but I was determined to find a beautiful edition to replace it.
As a child, I was captivated by the whimsical world of Wonderland, where the absurd and illogical became the norm. The story's timeless charm has only grown stronger with age, and I find myself returning to it again and again, each time discovering new layers of meaning and symbolism.
My search for the perfect edition finally led me to this stunning version, featuring Lopytun's unique illustrations. The artist's style is a perfect blend of Victorian, Gothic, and manga elements, which adds a fresh and exciting twist to the classic tale.
The book itself is a solid size, bigger than standard, but incredibly thin and lightweight. It's comfortable to read, and my hands don't get tired, even after extended periods of reading. However, it's not the kind of format you'd take with you to read outside the house - it's really a collector's item for me, meant for home use and admiring.
The entire book is designed by the artist herself, including the endpapers. The simple yet beautiful design is a testament to Lopytun's skill and attention to detail. The crisp, white pages are a joy to behold, with the paper being thick and opaque, allowing the illustrations to take center stage.
The font is nice and large, with some text highlighted in color and size. I like the layout - it's easy to read for both kids and adults. The margins are a good size, so your eyes don't get lost in the text.
I'm not going to focus on my impressions of the story itself - it's a classic tale that's a real explosion of imagination. It's fun to follow Alice's adventures as they get wilder and wilder. I think of this story as a riot of colors and a fantastical outburst that sometimes leaves me breathless. I mean, you have to wonder how the author came up with some of these ideas!
I have to admit, I bought this edition for the illustrations. I've been a big fan of Lopytun's art for a long time, but I wouldn't say I'm an obsessive collector. In this case, the illustrations really complement the text, and the characters look quite different from the usual versions you see in other adaptations or films.
Lopytun's style is a great example of neo-Gothic art - it's classic, but also romanticized and darker than you might expect. That's what makes her illustrations so captivating and sometimes even unsettling. I think this style might be off-putting for younger kids, but for me, it's a big part of what makes this book so compelling.
I'm absolutely obsessed with the artwork in this book, and I find myself getting lost in the details for hours. The way Lopytun reimagines the classic characters is pure genius - Alice loses her doll-like quality, and the Red Queen becomes even more unhinged and grunge-inspired.
For me, this book is the perfect addition to any collection - it's not just a pretty face, but a treasure trove of inspiration waiting to be uncovered. I love flipping through the pages, discovering new details and getting lost in the atmosphere.
Overall, I'm completely smitten with this edition, and I find myself holding it in my hands just to appreciate the artwork. The next installment, 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' with Lopytun's illustrations, is already on my radar - and I'll be buying it in a heartbeat, no matter how many e-books I'm trying to cut back on.
