Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, #2)
Lewis Carroll
In 1865, English author CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (1832-1898), aka Lewis Carroll, wrote a fantastical adventure story for the young daughters of a friend. The adventures of Alice-named for one of the little girls to whom the book was dedicated-who journeys down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical underworld realm instantly struck a chord with the British public, and then with readers around the world. In 1872, in reaction to the universal acclaim *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* received, Dodgson published this sequel. Nothing is quite what it seems once Alice journeys through the looking-glass, and Dodgson's wit is infectious as he explores concepts of mirror imagery, time running backward, and strategies of chess-all wrapped up in the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unlikely characters. In many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today's pop culture than the first book.
The Complete Stories and Poems
Lewis Carroll
This commemorative oversized volume of the complete collection of stories and poems of Lewis Carol showcases his ingenious use of word play, inverted logic and satire. Lewis Carroll was the pen name and, it could be claimed, the alter ego of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematician, writer and photographer. His creations, especially Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There , have been translated into countless languages and are as loved now as they have ever been. His neologisms ("curiouser and curiouser") and turns of phrase have forever infiltrated and enriched our language and culture.

First published in 1865, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was an immediate success, as was its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. Carroll’s sense of the absurd and his amazing gift for games of logic and language have secured for the Alice books an enduring spot in the hearts of both adults and children.
Alice begins her adventures when she follows the frantically delayed White Rabbit down a hole into the magical world of Wonderland, where she meets a variety of wonderful creatures, including Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts—who, with the help of her enchanted deck of playing cards, tricks Alice into playing a bizarre game of croquet. Alice continues her adventures in Through the Looking-Glass, which is loosely based on a game of chess and includes Carroll’s famous poem “Jabberwocky.”
Throughout her fantastic journeys, Alice retains her reason, humor, and sense of justice. She has become one of the great characters of imaginative literature, as immortal as Don Quixote, Huckleberry Finn, Captain Ahab, Sherlock Holmes, and Dorothy Gale of Kansas.
Tan Lin is a writer, artist, and critic. He is the author of two books of poetry, Lotion Bullwhip Giraffe and IDM.

Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles

Pourquoi Alice s'étonnerait-elle alors de rencontrer chemin faisant une Reine de Cœur, un Griffon, un Chapelier, un Lièvre de Mars ou de prendre le thé chez les fous ? C'est au pays des merveilles que l'a entraînée le lapin blanc, un pays où elle ne cesse de changer de taille, et où tout peut arriver. Un pays que Lewis Carroll met en scène avec une rigueur impeccable dans la loufoquerie.

Alice in Wonderland is the most famous and one of the most enchanting children's books of all time.

The manuscript, beautifully handwritten and illustrated in a charming naive style, was sold from one collector to another, until 1948, when it was given as a gift to the British Museum. In its 130-year history, several facsimiles have been made, but until now, none has done justice to Carroll's original. For this edition, the entire manuscript was photographed in color and reproduced with precise fidelity to the original. An enchanting evocation of the world of Lewis Carroll, offering a rare insight into this most enduring of children's stories.
Alicia en el País de las Maravillas / Alicia a través del espejo
Lewis Carroll
El presente volumen reúne las dos obras más célebres que escribió Lewis Carroll y que gracias a la imaginación y el ingenio que desbordan le han valido un lugar en el mundo moderno. Escrito para la niña Alicia Liddell, de diez años de edad, “Alicia en el País de las Maravillas” (1865) es un delicioso entramado de situaciones verosímiles y a la vez absurdas, metamorfosis insólitas de seres y ambientes, juegos con el lenguaje y con la lógica y asociaciones oníricas que hacen de él un libro inolvidable. Seis años más tarde halló una secuela equiparable, cuando no superior, en A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró al otro lado, que cuenta entre sus personajes con algunos de los más citados y conocidos de este peculiar universo, como Tararí y Tarará (Tweedledee y Tweedledum) o el oviforme Zanco Panco (Humpty Dumpty).
Alice's Adventures In Wonder Land
Lewis Carroll
In 1862, during a boating party on the Thames River, a young Englishman named Lewis Carroll entertained three little girls by spinning a wondrous story of a disappearing cat, a mad tea party, and a croquet-playing Queen of Hearts. The story so enchanted one of the girls that she begged him to put it in writing. The result was overwhelming fame and fortune for the author and a beloved fantasy classic for children’s literature. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has captivated generations of children and adults with its unforgettable blend of laughter, magic and mischief. It is a hot summer afternoon when Alice spies a white rabbit hurrying across the riverbanks. “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” he cries, glancing at a watch drawn from his waist-coat pocket. Of course, Alice has never seen a rabbit wear a waist-coat or a watch before. Curious, she follows the creature—and plunges down a rabbit hole into a strange and unforgettable world.

Alice attraverso lo specchio
Lewis Carroll
Seguito di Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie, Attraverso lo specchio (1871) ne riprende i personaggi e le ambientazioni fantastiche, pur in una chiave meno trasognata e più malinconica. Nel mondo a rovescio che Alice trova al di là dello specchio di camera sua, sei mesi dopo il suo primo viaggio nel paese delle meraviglie, è valida una sola regola: credere all'impossibile. Le carte da gioco si tramutano qui nei pezzi di una scacchiera; la sequela di imprevisti e trabocchetti in una sfrenata corsa tra filastrocche, poesie, giochi. E mentre Alice si muove sulla scacchiera, di casella in casella, impara a difendersi, a dire la sua, a entrare nel gioco dell'eccentrico e dell'incredibile, a capire e a simpatizzare con gli esseri stravaganti che incontra, allucinati ma ricchi di umanità.

Alice nel paese delle meraviglie e Attraverso lo specchio
Lewis Carroll
A oltre un secolo dalla sua pubblicazione, Alice, come romanzo e come personaggio, conserva ancora intatta tutta la sua freschezza, incantando non solo i più giovani ma anche gli adulti, che nel suo mondo meraviglioso scoprono un altro sé, pronto a sfidare ardui giochi linguistici, entusiasmanti trucchi psicologici, situazioni impossibili che emttono in discussione la realtà e svelano l'irresistibile fascino dell'assurdo. In un romanzo in cui la sospensione dell'incredulità è d'obbligo, il gusto del gioco non può essere dimenticato e va riscoperto con occhi che sappiano guardare al di là del consueto. Perché qui è l'essenza della vita, e forse tra i sogni segreti di tanti riscoprire la bellezza della vita reale. E' letteratura per ragazzi? E' un libro da leggere punto e basta.
Alicia en el país de las maravillas (Alicia, #1)
Lewis Carroll
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.
Alice nel paese delle meraviglie
Lewis Carroll
"Si può leggere di primo acchito, senza pause, o comunque indifferenti alle interruzioni; poiché da qualsiasi punto si ricominci la lettura, è come riprendere la storia da un punto fermo, senza nessi da ricordare con quanto precede. Ogni pagina è un inizio: per l’episodio che segue, per il personaggio che viene introdotto, per la situazione in cui Alice si trova. […] L’invito al lettore è di seguire Alice nel suo viaggio fantasioso così come le piccole Liddell l’hanno seguito in barca, lungo il Tamigi, il 4 luglio del 1865. Rinunciare a cercare troppo astrusi significati ha un grande effetto liberatorio; alla luce di quello che ancora una volta il saggio Re di Quadri sentenzia nell’ultimo capitolo: ‘Se non c’è nessun significato… questo, sapete, ci risparmia un mondo di guai, perché non abbiamo più bisogno di cercarne uno’."
Alicia a través del espejo (Alicia, #2)
Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll decidió dar una segunda parte a su exitoso cuento Alicia en el país de las maravillas, escribiendo seis años más tarde Alicia a través del espejo, también conocido como A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí, en el que muchas cosas de las que acontecen en el libro parecen, metafóricamente, reflejadas en un espejo. Con ello culmina un díptico espectacular que convierte a su autor en uno de los más grandes de la literatura universal.

Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass
Lewis Carroll
Conceived by a shy British don on a golden afternoon to entertain ten-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have delighted generations of readers in more than eighty languages. “The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books,” writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction, “lies in language. . . . It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children.”
The Alice in Wonderland Omnibus Including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (with the Original John Tenniel Illustrations) (Reader's Library Classics)
Lewis Carroll
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Down the rabbit hole away little Alice goes. Follow her at your own peril, but beware of the world you are about to enter. One with a decapitation-crazed queen, an unintelligible duchess, a sleepy dormouse, a chronically late rabbit, a witty Cheshire cat, a blue hookah-smoking caterpillar, a Hatter and a March Hare hosting a mad tea party, and a caucus race so bewildering that the best way to explain it is just to do it.
Through the Looking Glass: Adventure, mayhem, and madness continue for young Alice after she climbs through the mirror hanging above her fireplace's mantel. Into the reflective world she travels, and soon she discovers that just as everything is backward in a mirror's reflection, so is everything, from backward sentences to backward logic, in the mirror world. Rank by rank, Alice must cross through an enormous chess board as she meets a fantastical motley crew of creatures, chess pieces, and humans alike. What shall happen when little Alice reaches the end of the chess board?
