Lewis Carroll

V etom izdanii publikujutsja tri samykh znamenitykh proizvedenija izvestnogo anglijskogo pisatelja Ljuisa Kerrolla (1832-1898) - "Alisa v Strane Chudes", "Alisa v Zazerkale" i "Alisa pod zemlej". Eta istorija ob otvazhnoj devochke Alise, kotoraja vstretila govorjaschego Belogo Krolika i ne pobojalas otpravitsja vsled za nim v volshebnye miry, gde ona uvidela samye neobyknovennye veschi, poznakomilas so skazochnymi sozdanijami, obrela novykh druzej i popala v vodovorot udivitelnykh prikljuchenij.131 illjustratsija k knige vypolnena samim Ljuisom Kerrollom i izvestnym khudozhnikom Dzhonom Tennielom.

Vrjad li imja anglijskogo matematika Charlza Ljutvidzha Dodzhsona bylo v nashe vremja stol populjarnym, esli by ne dve ego povesti, sochinennye im dlja trekh devochek - docherej oks-fordskogo dekana Genri Liddela. Istorija sokhranila datu, s kotoroj nachalis prikljuchenija Alisy v strane Chudes - 4 ijulja 1862 goda. V etot znojnyj den vo vremja lodochnoj progulki po Temze malenkie sputnitsy Dodzhsona poprosili rasskazat im skazku, i Charlz prinjalsja improvizirovat. Nachalo povesti devochkam tak ponravilos, chto desjatiletnjaja Alisa poprosila ee zapisat. Rovno cherez tri goda, v 1865-m, skazka byla opublikovana v tipografii Oksforda. Na oblozhke stojal psevdonim Dodzhsona - Ljuis Kerroll. Khotja sam Dodzhson ostalsja nedovolen kachestvom pechati etogo pervogo izdanija, tekst ego povesti srazu privlek vnimanie publiki. Uvlekatelnyj sjuzhet v stile fentezi, o kotorom malo kto slyshal v XIX veke, fantasticheskie personazhi, neobychnye prevraschenija - vse v etoj povesti bylo novo i neobychno. Vpechatlenie ot knigi usilivali i velikolepnye illjustratsii grafika Dzhona Tenniela. Nesmotrja na mnogochislennye pereizdanija "Alisy v strane Chudes" eti illjustratsii do sikh por schitajutsja neprevzojdennoj klassikoj, khotja uzhe v XX veke kartinki k etoj fantasticheskoj povesti risovali Salvador Dali, Tuve Janson i drugie talantlivye risovalschiki. Dannoe izdanie illjustrirovano imenno rabotami Tenniela. Kak i mnogie drugie talantlivye literaturnye proizvedenija, "Alisa" porodila mnozhestvo voprosov i kommentariev. Kto byl prototipami geroev Kerrolla? Kak v "Alise" otrazilis chisto nauchnye voprosy, kotorye volnovali Dodzhsona? Na eti temy opublikovano nemalo issledovanij, odnako oni otkhodjat na vtoroj plan, kogda chitaesh "Alisu" detjam. Eta skazka neizmenno im nravitsja. Bezuslovnyj uspekh povesti podtolknul Kerrolla napisat prodolzhenie. "Alisa v Zazerkale" byla zakonchena v 1871 godu. Etu povest, ne menee ljubopytnuju i paradoksalnuju, takzhe illjustriroval Tenniel. Cherez vosem let pojavilsja pervyj perevod "Alisy v strane Chudes" na russkij jazyk. Povest nazyvalas "Sonja v tsarstve diva". Ona byla otpechatana v Moskve bez ukazanija avtora i perevodchika. Etot raritetnyj tekst vkljuchen v dannyj sbornik, kak i menee izvestnoe proizvedenie Kerrolla - "Okhota na Snarka". "Sonja v tsarstve diva" v etom sbornike daetsja v illjustratsijakh Garri Fernissa. V XX veke nachali pojavljatsja i drugie perevody "Alisy" na russkij. V dannom sbornike opublikovan perevod Aleksandry Nikolaevny Rozhdestvenskoj. "Alisa v Zazerkale" daetsja v perevode Vladimira Aleksandrovicha Ashkinazi, kotoryj pechatalsja pod psevdonimom V. A. Azov.

A Tangled Tale is a collection of 10 brief humorous stories by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), published serially between April 1880 and March 1885 in The Monthly Packet magazine. Arthur B. Frost added illustrations when the series was printed in book form. The stories, or Knots as Carroll calls them, present mathematical problems. In a later issue, Carroll gives the solution to a Knot and discusses readers' answers. The mathematical interpretations of the Knots are not always straightforward. The ribbing of readers answering wrongly - giving their names - was not always well received (see Knot VI below). In the December 1885 book preface Carroll writes: The writer's intention was to embody in each Knot (like medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, concealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions - in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be - for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that magazine. Describing why he was ending the series, Carroll writes to his readers that the Knots were "but a lame attempt". Others were more receptive: In 1888 Stuart Dodgson Collingwood wrote "With some people, this is the most popular of all his books; it is certainly the most successful attempt he ever made to combine mathematics and humour." They have more recently been described as having "all the charm and wit of his better-known works". (wikipedia.org)

Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and its second volume Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

'We're all mad here...'Alice, wildly curious and endearingly imaginative, finds herself in a fantastical, whimsical world much unlike home when she tumbles down a rabbit hole one summer afternoon-and in Wonderland, much like in the child's imagination, there are no limits to what can happen. Bewildered and intrigued by all she encounters, Alice embarks on a colourful adventure like no other in a place where refreshments can make one instantly grow and shrink, hatters and hares host tea parties, and the Queen plays croquet with live flamingos. Treasured by children and adults alike for well over a century, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most beloved texts in Victorian literature. Its characters are unforgettable, its dialogue uproarious, and, above all, its backdrop wonderfully magical.

The nonsensical poem written by Lewis Carroll in 1874 and published in 1876. Describing "with infinite humor the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature". "It's a Snark "...for whatever else can it be?" Published on April Fools' Day in 1876, Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark remains one of the most amusing and bizarre works of modern verse.
