Lewis Carroll

This is the story of a girl named Alice who was about to pick some daisies one day when she saw a white rabbit with pink eyes. He was dressed in a waistcoat, took out a watch, looked at it, and said he'd be late. He ran down a rabbit hole and Alice, who was amazed, followed him. She fell way, way down the rabbit hole and when she finally landed, her adventures in Wonderland began. She had found another world, previously hidden to people. As she explored this new world she met many interesting characters that are all able to talk, like the White Rabbit that she followed, a mouse, a blue caterpillar, the Chesire Cat, the Mock Turtle, the March Hare, the Hatter, a dormouse, the Queen of Hearts, the King of Hearts, a duck, a lizard, a puppy, and a gryphon, which is half lion and half eagle. The great thing about Wonderland is that Alice takes you along with her as the story gets told, so you don't have to fall down a rabbit hole and get lost yourself. But you can still experience all of her amazing adventures, which is why this is one of the most favorite stories in the world.

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.

One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it: -it was the black kitten's fault entirely. For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so you see that it couldn't have had any hand in the mischief. The way Dinah washed her children's faces was this: first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: and just now, as I said, she was hard at work on the white kitten, which was lying quite still and trying to purr-no doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good. But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; and there it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle.

"Phantasmagoria" is a poem written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1869 as the opening poem of a collection of verse by Carroll entitled Phantasmagoria and Other Poems. It is Lewis Carroll's longest poem. "Phantasmagoria" is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (a Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll portrays the ghost as not so different from human beings: although ghosts may jibber and jangle their chains, they, like us, simply have a job to do and that job is to haunt. Just as in our society, in ghost society there is a hierarchy, and ghosts are answerable to the King (who must be addressed as "Your Royal Whiteness") if they disregard the "Maxims of Behaviour".

Notre barque glisse sur l'onde Que dorent de br lants rayons; Sa marche lente et vagabonde T moigne que des bras mignons, Pleins d'ardeur, mais encore novices, Tout fiers de ce nouveau travail, M nent au gr de leurs caprices Les rames et le gouvernail.

Перевод «Алисы в Стране чудес Юрия Нестеренко (2000), доступный в течение многих лет в Интернете, впервые публикуется в виде бумажной книги, с классическими иллюстрациями Джона Тенниела. Из предисловия переводчика «Все русские переводы "Алисы," с которыми мне довелось ознакомиться, достаточно далеки от оригинала. Честнее всего поступил Заходер, прямо назвавший свой вариант пересказом; но и переводчики, не сделавшие такой оговорки, позволили себе весьма вольное обращение с авторским текстом. Не стану утверждать, будто то, что у них получилось, никуда не годится; напротив, вариант Заходера, к примеру, написан более живым языком, чем оригинал, но есть одна маленькая проблема--Кэрролл писал не это. Итак, моей целью было сделать как можно более точный перевод--разумеется, настолько, насколько позволяют различия между английским и русским языком. Юрий Нестеренко (1972 г.р.), поэт и фантаст, живёт во Флориде. --- This Russian translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Yury Nesterenko has been available on the Internet since the year 2000, but is published here for the first time as printed book, with the classic illustrations by John Tenniel. From the translator's Foreword: ..".all Russian translations of 'Alice' which I encountered are rather far from the original. Boris Zakhoder was the most honest since he directly called his version 'a paraphrase'. Other translators who did not make such a statement generally took undue freedoms with the Carroll's text. I will not claim that their translations are no good. On the contrary, Zakhoder's version, for example, is written in a more vivid style than the original--but there is one little problem: Lewis Carroll did not write it. So, my purpose was to make a translation as accurate as possible--certainly, as far as the language differences between English and Russian allow." Yury Nesterenko (b. 1972) lives in Florida, and writes poetry and science fiction.
