Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (Puffin Classics)
von Lewis Carroll
About the AuthorCharles Lutwidge Dodgson, known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was a man of diverse interests - in mathematics, logic, photography, art, theater, religion, medicine, and science. He was happiest in the company of children for whom he created puzzles, clever games, and charming letters.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. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872.The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. Sylvie and Bruno, published toward the end of his life contains startling ideas including an 1889 description of weightlessness.The humor, sparkling wit and genius of this Victorian Englishman have lasted for more than a century. His books are among the most quoted works in the English language, and his influence (with that of his illustrator, Sir John Tenniel) can be seen everywhere, from the world of advertising to that of atomic physics.

Rezension von dajameepKurios und Phantastisch. Es sind zwei Reisen, bei denen man nicht wirklich das Gefühl hat, dass irgendetwas aus einem bestimmen Grund passiert. Personen, Tiere und Dinge legen Verhalten an den Tag, die man so nicht erwarten würde. Erst nach und nach meine ich, ihren Sinn erkannt zu haben, was die einzelnen Szenen zu bedeuten haben, wie sie aus den Augen eines Kindes zu verstehen sind. So wird einem immer mehr und mehr vorgeführt, was man als nicht-Kind für selbstverständlich annimmt, worüber man sich nicht mehr freut oder wundert oder was einem nicht mehr erstaunlich vorkommt. Beide Geschichten wirken so, als ob ein tatsächliches Mädchen ihre Traum- und Fantasiereisen beschreiben würde. Und immer wieder sieht man dabei, wie dieses Mädchen Redewendungen und Verhaltensweisen der Erwachsenen aufgeschnappt hat, und versucht, diese zu verarbeiten oder wie sie darüber denkt. Es sind kleine Abenteuer, die mich aus einem doch recht unphantastischem Alltag rausgeholt haben und so für viel Lesefreude gesorgt haben.
