Notă biografică
Lewis Carroll (eigentlich Charles Lutwidge Dodgson; 27.1.1832 Daresbury - 14.1.1898 Guiltford) ist aufgrund seiner bis heute breit rezipierten Nonsensedichtung und Nonsenseliteratur um die Erlebnisse des Mädchens Alice im Wunderland einer der berühmtesten Vertreter der Literatur des Viktorianischen Zeitalters. Als Sohn einer wohlhabenden Familie erhält der mathematisch hochbegabte Charles zunächst Privatunterricht zuhause, besucht dann ein gutes Internat und studiert an der Oxford University. Daneben ist er ein talentierter Porträtfotograf junger Mädchen. Es erscheinen von ihm mathematische wie literarische Publikationen. Seine Romane »Alice's Adventures in Wonderland« (dt. »Alices Abenteuer im Wunderland«) oder »Through the Looking-Glass« (dt. »Alice hinter den Spiegeln«) kratzen in einer Mischung aus überschäumender Phantasie, Logik und Wortspielerei an den Grenzen der Realität und inspirieren Literaten wie James Joyce ebenso wie Künstler des Surrealismus, etwa André Breton oder Max Ernst. Auch in zahlreichen Filmadaptionen erfreuen sich die Figuren Carolls - etwa der verrückte Hutmacher, der Marzhäse, die Grinsekatze oder die weise Raupe Absolem - großer Beliebtheit. Sein drittes großes Werk »The Hunting of the Snark« (dt. »Die Jagd nach dem Schnatz«) beschreibt die Jagd nach einem Fabelwesen, bei dem alle Beteiligten der Expedition mit einem >B< beginnen.

Recenzii
[Former director/designer Melly] Still and Reade boldly resist temptations to create a cute, fluffy, Disneyfied landscape, instead embracing the physical limitations of theatre as a catalyst for the audience's collective imagination . . . It's a fresh, idiosyncratic pleasure.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
"What is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures?"
For over 125 years John Tenniel's superb illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have been the perfect complement to Lewis Carroll's timeless story. In that time Alice has been illustrated by numerous artists, but not one has come close to matching the universal appeal of the original pictures.
This is the first Alice to reproduce Ternniel's exquisite drawings from prints taken directly from the original wood engravings. Here, Tenniel's fine line work is far crisper, delicate shadings are reproduced with more subtlety, and details never seen before are now visible.
Like most nineteenth-century children's books, the pictures for Alice were created by transferring the artist's drawings to woodblocks, But with Alice, the original blocks served as masters from which metal plates were made for printing. Unfortunately, these plates deteriorated from the repeated pressure applied during printing, and over time, many of the fine lines in Tenniel's pictures simply vanished altogether.As the year-, passed, the original woodblocks disappeared and were believed lost; then, in 1985 they were discovered in a London bank vault.
Now, for the first time, prints from these woodblocks have been used to produce a deluxe gift edition with clearer, more detailed images than have ever been seen before. At last, readers can see the Alice that Carroll and Tenniel had originally envisioned.
