»Die beiden Alices sind keine Bücher für Kinder; sie sind die einzigen Bücher, in denen wir zu Kindern werden.« (Virginia Woolf) Was macht man an einem langweiligen Sommertag, wenn die Schwester ein ödes Buch ganz ohne Bilder liest? Wenn plötzlich ein weißes Kaninchen vorbeihuscht, noch dazu mit Westentasche und Uhr? Klar - nichts wie hinterher, denkt sich Alice! Hinab in das Kaninchenloch und hinein in die kurioseste Welt der Literaturgeschichte: Hier unten im Wunderland gerät die Zeit aus den Fugen, die Logik steht Kopf und Alice trifft die verrücktesten Kreaturen zum Stelldichein. Katzen grinsen, Flamingos werden zu Krocketschlägern und kleine Kinder zu Ferkeln - alles unter der fuchsteufelswilden Spielkarten-Regentschaft der Herzkönigin. Nach über 150 Jahren beweist diese Neuübersetzung, dass die Abenteuer der kleinen Alice rein gar nichts von ihrem Charme und Zauber verloren haben und mehr als nur Aberwitz und Kinderbuch sind. So erstrahlt eine der schönsten Geschichten der Weltliteratur in ganz neuem Glanz!

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson--known better by his pseudonym, Lewis Carroll--was a 19th century English logician, mathematician, photographer, and novelist. He is especially remembered for his children's tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass. By the time of Dodgson's death in 1898, Alice (the integration of the two volumes) had become the most popular children's book in England. By the time of his centenary in 1932, it was perhaps the most famous in the world. This book presents a complete catalogue of Dodgson's personal library, with attention to every book the author is known to have owned or read. Alphabetized entries fully describe each book, its edition, its contents, its importance, and any particular relevance it might have had to Dodgson. The library not only provides a plethora of fodder for further study on Dodgson, but also reflects the Victorian world of the second half of the 19th century, a time of unprecedented investigation, experimentation, invention, and imagination. Dodgson's volumes represent a vast array of academic interests from Victorian England and beyond, including homeopathic medicine, spiritualism, astrology, evolution, women's rights, children's literature, linguistics, theology, eugenics, and many others. The catalogue is designed for scholars seeking insight into the mind of Charles Dodgson through his books.
In 'The Hunting of the Snark,' Lewis Carroll crafts a whimsical narrative that brilliantly blends absurdity and fantasy, resulting in a poem of intricate verse and playful language. Set within a nonsensical yet richly imaginative world, the story follows an eclectic crew aboard a ship in search of the elusive Snark, a creature whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Carroll's unique use of wordplay, portmanteaus, and lyrical rhythm not only disorients but also enchants readers, situating the work within the larger context of Victorian literature that valued both innovation and imagination. The poem sparkles with philosophical undertones, inviting interpretations and challenging the conventions of narrative structure. Lewis Carroll, a mathematician and logician, often infused his works with his fascination for the fantastical and the illogical. His experiences in the realms of mathematics and his knowledge of wordplay and riddles heavily influenced his writing. 'The Hunting of the Snark' emerged during an era of creativity and change, reflecting Carroll's desire to explore themes of identity, absurdity, and the nature of reality. 'The Hunting of the Snark' is a must-read for anyone who revels in the absurd or wishes to experience the playful genius of Carroll. Its layered meanings and enchanting style make it a timeless treasure, appealing not only to children but also to adults who appreciate the depth behind the whimsy.
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 conversations?"
THE Warden, a tall dignified man with a grave but very pleasant face, was seated before a writing-table, which was covered with papers, and holding on his knee one of the sweetest and loveliest little maidens it has ever been my lot to see.
