Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ''and what is the use of a book,'' thought Alice ''without pictures or conversation?'' So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ''Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled ''ORANGE MARMALADE'', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. ''Well!'' thought Alice to herself, ''after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they''ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn''t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!'' (Which was very likely true.) Down, down, down. Would the fall NEVER come to an end! ''I wonder how many miles I''ve fallen by this time?'' she said aloud. ''I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think—'' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ''—yes, that''s about the right distance—but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I''ve got to?'' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)

"Goblin, lead them up and down." The ruddy glow of sunset was already fading into the sombre shadows of night, when two travellers might have been observed swiftly—at a pace of six miles in the hour—descending the rugged side of a mountain; the younger bounding from crag to crag with the agility of a fawn, while his companion, whose aged limbs seemed ill at ease in the heavy chain armour habitually worn by tourists in that district, toiled on painfully at his side. As is always the case under such circumstances, the younger knight was the first to break the silence. "A goodly pace, I trow!" he exclaimed. "We sped not thus in the ascent!" "Goodly, indeed!" the other echoed with a groan. "We clomb it but at three miles in the hour." And on the dead level our pace is——?" the younger suggested; for he was weak in statistics, and left all such details to his aged companion. "Four miles in the hour," the other wearily replied. "Not an ounce more," he added, with that love of metaphor so common in old age, "and not a farthing less!" "''Twas three hours past high noon when we left our hostelry," the young man said, musingly. "We shall scarce be back by supper-time. Perchance mine host will roundly deny us all food!" "He will chide our tardy return," was the grave reply, "and such a rebuke will be meet." "A brave conceit!" cried the other, with a merry laugh. "And should we bid him bring us yet another course, I trow his answer will be tart!" TO MY PUPIL. Beloved pupil! Tamed by thee, Addish-, Subtrac-, Multiplica-tion, Division, Fractions, Rule of Three, Attest thy deft manipulation! Then onward! Let the voice of Fame From Age to Age repeat thy story, Till thou hast won thyself a name Exceeding even Euclid''s glory! This Tale originally appeared as a serial in The Monthly Packet, beginning in April, 1880. The writer''s intention was to embody in each Knot (like the medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, con-cealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions "in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be" for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that Magazine. lEWIS CARROLL

"Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland" – Alice, a girl of seven years, is feeling bored and drowsy while sitting on the riverbank with her elder sister. She then notices a talking, clothed White Rabbit with a pocket watch run past. She follows it down a rabbit hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many locked doors of all sizes and gets stuck in 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. Its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

Once Alice embarks on her next adventure, nothing is quite what it seems. Through a mirror, she enters a fantastical world of illogical behavior dominated by chess boards and chess pieces, and where time runs backwards. The story follows the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unusual characters she encounters. The game of chess that Alice faces is a reflection of how society''s rigid hierarchy works. And, in many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today''s pop culture than the first book, with its whimsical and thought-provoking themes.

Lewis Carroll''s ''Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland (Illustrated)'' is a groundbreaking work of children''s literature that intricately melds elements of absurdism, fantasy, and playful language. Written in 1865, the narrative follows the young Alice as she tumbles down a rabbit hole into a surreal world teeming with peculiar characters and nonsensical occurrences.

The book stands as a cornerstone of the literary tradition that emerged in the Victorian era, challenging societal norms while celebrating imagination. Lewis Carroll, the pseudonymous identity of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician, logician, and photographer with a profound love for storytelling. His experiences with children, particularly his friendship with Alice Liddell, served as inspiration for the fantastical voyage depicted in his novel. Carroll deftly intertwines mathematical concepts with elements of storytelling, reflecting his intellectual background while also capturing the innocence and curiosity of childhood. Recommended for readers of all ages, ''Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland (Illustrated)'' remains a timeless exploration of identity and the absurdities of life. Its enchanting narrative and stunning illustrations by celebrated artists breathe new life into this classic tale. Whether revisiting or discovering the story for the first time, readers will find themselves immersed in a world where imagination reigns supreme, making this edition an essential addition to any literary collection.

A special edition with twenty-eight beautiful original full-colour illustrations. "A book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come until the language becomes obsolete" - Walter Besant. "The book changed young people''s literature. It helped to replace stiff Victorian didacticism with a looser, sillier, nonsense style that reverberated through the works of language-loving 20th-century authors as different as James Joyce, Douglas Adams and Dr Seuss." - TIME "Lewis Carroll''s brilliant nonsense tale is one of the most influential and best-loved in the English canon." - Robert McCrum Lewis Carroll has entranced children and adults with these delightful, playful and intriguing stories ever since he first told them to the ten-year-old Alice Liddell while rowing on the Thames in Oxford, England. Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland began a new era in children''s literature, where the goal was to entertain and delight the reader instead of merely educating. His mischievous, light-hearted wordplay and fantasy anticipate Dr Seuss. This thoroughly delightful book "has a dreamlike unreality peopled with some of the most entertaining characters in English literature. The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat and the King and Queen of Hearts are simply the most memorable of a cast from which every reader will find his or her favourite." (Robert McCrum). It is little surprise that it has been repeatedly adapted for the stage and the screen and even computer games. This lavishly illustrated special edition contains twenty-eight beautiful original full-colour illustrations, including many full-page illustrations by Sir John Tenniel and Arthur Rackham and eleven monochrome drawings by Rackham. Almost every two-page spread has an illustration. The modern twelve-point font will be easy for a child to read and enjoy Carroll''s delightful style. A wonderful gift for any child or parent. Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914), a prominent Victoria illustrator and cartoonist, was the principal cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years. He was the first illustrator to be knighted. Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) was a leading figure in the Golden Age of children''s illustration. His influence extended past his death and can be seen in Disney''s approach to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an Oxford mathematician and logician, an early photographer, and a leading Victorian author. He is best remembered for his children''s classic Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland.

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.

What shall happen when little Alice reaches the end of the chess board?

Everyone''s familiar with Lewis Carroll''s famous children''s classic and the huge influence it''s had on modern culture. The Mad Hatter, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar--all of these strange and familiar creatures appear in Alice, and the nonsensical style, memorable poems, and colorful set pieces are just as influential. The book was originally written as gift to Alice Liddel, the daughter of one of Carroll''s friends. Carroll had told the story to Alice during a rainy-day boat trip up a river. It stuck in his mind, and a few years later the completed manuscript was published in 1865. More than 150 years later, it''s just as popular as it ever was.

Alice, an unpretentious and individual 19-year-old, is betrothed to a dunce of an English nobleman. At her engagement party, she escapes the crowd to consider whether to go through with the marriage and falls down a hole in the garden after spotting an unusual rabbit. Arriving in a strange and surreal place called "Underland," she finds herself in a world that resembles the nightmares she had as a child, filled with talking animals, villainous queens and knights, and frumious bandersnatches. Alice realizes that she is there for a reason to conquer the horrific Jabberwocky and restore the rightful queen to her throne.

Through the Looking-Glass is a novel by Lewis Carroll, and is the spin-off of Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland.

Through the Looking-Glass incorporates such commended sections as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the scene including Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The mirror which enlivened Carroll remains showed in Charlton Kings. The characters of Hatta and Haigha (articulated as the English would have said "hatter" and "rabbit") show up, and are envisioned (by Sir John Tenniel, not via Carroll) to take after their Wonderland partners, the Hatter and the March Hare. Notwithstanding, Alice doesn''t remember them in that capacity. Dinah, Alice''s feline, additionally makes a return - this time with her two cats, Kitty (the dark one) and Snowdrop (the white one).

Nach einiger Zeit findet sie einen Schlüssel, mit dem sie die kleinste Tür aufsperren kann. Sie öffnet diese, schafft es allerdings nicht hindurch, weil sie zu groß ist. Kurz darauf findet sie ein Fläschchen mit einem Trunk, der sie kleiner macht. Aber dann ist die Tür, als sie klein genug ist, wieder zu.
