Nejznámnější dílo matematika, logika a učence Lewise Carrolla vypráví příběh zvídavé dívky Alenky, která se rozhodla pronásledovat neobyčejného králíka s hodinkami. Skokem do králičí nory se začne rozvíjet příběh plný podivuhodností a fantazijních zápletek, jimž není konce díky obyvatelům podzemní říše. Alenka se zde setká se šklebivou kočkou, dostane se do portrhlé Čajové společnosti, zahraje si krokem se srdcovým králem a královnou a prožije spoustu dalších neuvěřitelných dobrodružství.

This 1872 sequel to Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds the inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Looking-glass land, a topsy-turvy world lurking just behind the mirror over Alice's mantel, is a fantastic realm of live chessmen, madcap kings and queens, strange mythological creatures, talking flowers and puddings, and rude insects. Brooks and hedges divide the lush greenery of looking-glass land into a chessboard, where Alice becomes a pawn in a bizarre game of chess involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, the White Knight, and other nursery-rhyme figures. Promised a crown when she reaches the eighth square, Alice perseveres through a surreal landscape of amusing characters that pelt her with riddles and humorous semantic quibbles and regale her with memorable poetry, including the oft-quoted "Jabberwocky." This handsome, inexpensive edition, featuring the original John Tenniel illustrations, makes available to today's readers a classic of juvenile literature long cherished for its humor, whimsy, and incomparable fantasy.

Everything that Lewis Carroll ever published in book form appears in this volume. In addition, at least ten of the shorter pieces have never appeared in print except in their original editions. Included are: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, Sylvie and Bruno, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, The Hunting of the Snark and all of the poetry, essays and phantasmagoria along with a substantial collection of his miscellaneous writings. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Other Stories is part of Barnes & Noble's series of quality leatherbound volumes. Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively designed edition bound in genuine bonded leather, with beautiful illustrations and breathtaking endpapers. These books make elegant additions to any home library.

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) is a world-famous author, best known for his literary nonsense novels Alice in Wonderland and its sequel. He also wrote numerous poems and several other works which were popular during his time. Today he is considered one of the best authors in the world. This collection contains some of the best works ever published by Carroll: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, which includes Jabberwocky and The Walrus and the Carpenter, The Hunting of the Snark, Rhyme? And Reason?, which includes Phantasmagoria and Other Poems, and Sylvie and Bruno.

On July 4, 1862, a young clergyman teaching Mathematics at Christ Church College in Oxford went on an outing with the three daughters of the Dean. The cheerful group enjoyed a boating trip late into the afternoon, filled with laughter, joy, songs, and stories. On that memorable day, in the sunny waters of the river, Alice was born. Alice, the heroine destined to become as legendary as Cinderella and Snow White, would be adored by generations and captivate millions of readers of all ages. The two books by Lewis Carroll that emerged are now classics. In the first, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the young heroine gets lost in a captivating dream in a fairy-tale land; in the second, "Through the Looking-Glass," she experiences the strangest adventures in an inverted reality. Written with humor and tenderness, these works are clever, sensitive, and multi-layered, enriching the way we see and think about things. Today, the "spirit" of Alice is an integral part of European culture: it will forever continue to introduce the marvelous world of imagination and inspire future generations.

L'autore presenta le opere più famose di Carroll - i racconti "Le avventure di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie" e "Attraverso lo specchio", in cui, ironizzando sui modelli di pensiero, il scrittore offre un'immagine sarcastica dei costumi della società inglese della seconda metà del XIX secolo.

A little girl falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a world of nonsensical and amusing characters.

Alenka v říši divů je dílo anglického matematika a logika Lewise Carrolla, který ji údajně napsal pro malou holčičku Alici Liddellovou. Dílu se dostalo vědecké interpretace a bylo označeno za mimořádné. Sama hlavní postava, neustále ohromená Alenka v bezděčných reakcích na imaginativní svět plný podivuhodných věcí a událostí, Carrollův um logicky svázat absurdum světa v celé šíři a líčená přirozenost i znalost dětského chování, zaručili dílu světové uznání a přerod v klasiku. Toto vydání obsahuje tzv. přívazek. Jsou to totiž dvě knihy v jedné vazbě (136 str. a 154 str.) a původně zřejmě měly vycházet zvlášť.
