Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Other Stories (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic Collection)

Product Information

Carroll, an amateur photographer by the late 1850s, [18] produced many photographic portraits of the Liddell children—but none more than Alice, of whom 20 survive. This compilation also features Carroll's novels Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, his masterpiece of nonsense verse "The Hunting of the Snark," and miscellaneous poems, short stories, puzzles, and acrostics. International works based on the book include the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park, New York, and the Alice statue in Rymill Park, Adelaide, Australia. Sure, I understood that the book explored some themes like growing up, but other than that, I didn't worry myself about the hidden symbolisms.

In the late 19th century, Walter Besant wrote that Alice in Wonderland "was a book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come until the language becomes obsolete".

Ja kaiken taustalla on uskontoa tunnustava pohjavire, ja kirja loppuukin ajatukseen on olemassa jumala, joka vastaa rukouksiin. As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. It took me a while to figure out that every line, every word, every dialogue was a puzzle that you have to unravel yourself.And the conversations in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are some of the most famously fabulous confabulations. The title page of the Appleton Alice was an insert cancelling the original Macmillan title page of 1865 and bearing the New York publisher's imprint and the date 1866. Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98), grew up in Cheshire in the village of Daresbury, the son of a parish priest. Complete with the original drawings by John Tenniel, this luxurious leather-bound edition is a steal for new readers and Carroll fans alike.

Surprised, Alice follows him down a rabbit hole, which sends her into a lengthy plummet but to a safe landing.intimately tied to the illustrations created by Tenniel, and it is therefore perhaps no great surprise that when copyright to Wonderland expired in 1907, the appearance of a plethora of new illustrated versions was received with some significant objection by English reviewers. The only sobering thought which kept recurring through the book was how Alice was not sure who she was anymore after being trapped in the Wonderland for so long. The Mock Turtle sings them "Beautiful Soup" during which the Gryphon drags Alice away for a trial, in which the Knave of Hearts stands accused of stealing the Queen's tarts.
