Aus dem Englischen von Antonie ZimmermannAutorisierte AusgabeMit den Illustrationen von John TennielKoloriert von Günter JürgensmeierLeipzig Johann Friedrich Hartknoch [1869]Der Verfasser wünscht hiermit seine Anerkennung gegen die Übersetzerin auszusprechen, die einige eingestreute Parodien englischer Kinderlieder, welche der deutschen Jugend unverständlich gewesen wären, durch dergleichen von bekannten deutschen Gedichten ersetzt hat. Ebenso sind für die oft unübersetzbaren englischen Wortspiele passende deutsche eingeschoben worden, welche das Buch allein der Gewandtheit der Übersetzerin verdankt.

Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and tumbles into Wonderland: a topsy-turvy world of riddles and nonsense where animals answer back, a baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a disorderly tea party, croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. In a land in which nothing is as it seems and cakes, potions and mushrooms can make her shrink to ten inches or grow to the size of a house, will she ever find her way home?

Los cuentos de Alicia, que han hecho célebre el nombre de Lewis Carroll en todo el mundo y han sido traducidos a numerosas lenguas, fueron escritos originalmente en 1862 para Alice Liddell, hija de Henry George Liddell, deán de Christ Church. Tras su publicación, los relatos, ilustrados por el dibujante inglés sir John Tenniel, se hicieron famosos de inmediato como libros infantiles.En una época de implacable didacticismo de los libros infantiles, Alicia fue el primer personaje de la literatura infantil que entrevió la hipocresía y la presuntuosidad didáctica del mundo de los adultos. El atractivo de estos relatos para los mayores reside en la ingeniosa mezcla de fantasía y realidad, suave sátira, absurdidad y lógica. Los nombres y las expresiones de los personajes la Liebre de Marzo, El sombrerero, El gato de Cheshire o la Reina de Corazones han entrado a formar parte de personajes clásicos de la literatura.

"Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There" is the sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", and is likewise a humoristic nonsense story for children of all ages, written by Lewis Carroll (pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) and first published in 1871. In this book Alice meets the Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White and Red Queens, Humpty Dumpty, and the White Knight.The book contains the nonsense verse of the Jabberwock and the Walrus and the Carpenter.In Through the Looking-Glass, brooks and hedges divide the countryside into one giant chessboard, Alice plays the part of a pawn.In his stories, Carroll blurs the boundaries between being awake and being asleep so that it becomes difficult to tell where reality ends and dreaming begins.
