Příběh dvou dětí v pohádkové zemi od autora, jenž se proslavil knížkami o Alence v kraji divů a za zrcadlem. Bohatě ilustrováno (dobové kresby). Z angličtiny přeložila Markéta Cukrová. Ilustroval Harry Furniss.

Existují mimořádné tituly, které byly, jsou a budou, dokud budou existovat knihy a jejich čtenáři. Jedním z nich je i Alenka v říši divů Lewise Carrolla, která se již dočkala celé řady zpracování a adaptací pro větší i menší čtenáře. A přitom až nyní vychází v češtině upravená verze pro děti ve věku 0-5 let z rukou toho nejpovolanějšího, Lewise Carrolla. Jeho Alenka pro nejmenší vyšla v roce 1889 a Carroll v ní prokázal obrovský cit pro fantazii dětí, které jsou ve věku, kdy sice zatím samy neumí číst, ale jsou pozornými a dychtivými posluchači příběhů, prostřednictvím kterých se postupně utváří jejich vztah ke čtení. Kniha je k předčítání uzpůsobena a vypravěč je po celou dobu v úzkém kontaktu s dětskými posluchači, odvolává se na bohaté ilustrace a rozvíjí dětskou představivost. Pouť Alenky po podivném kraji zázraků tak dostává srozumitelnou podobu a je pro děti klíčovou pozvánkou do světa četby a knih. – Do světa za hranicí každodennosti a všedních zážitků, který se může v lecčem podobat Alenčině říši divů. Kniha obsahuje dvacet kolorovaných Johna Tenniela k Alence v říši divů.

Agonie v osmi záchvatech. 111 let uplyne v lednu 2009 od úmrtí Charlese Lutwidge Dodgsona (27. 1. 1832 - 14. 1. 1898), známějšího jako Lewis Carroll, autor vpravdě nesmrtelné Alenky v říši divů a Za zrcadlem. Ten, kdo ji zná a miluje, zná nepochybně i další podivuhodné postavy z těch knížek. Z nich nejpodivuhodnější je jistě Žvahlav neboli Tlachapoud, vposled Hromoplk. A ten nám budiž průvodcem na podivuhodné výpravě, jejímž cílem je Lovení Snárka, bytosti ovšem reálně neuchopitelné, hodné směšnohrdinského eposu, jímž tato kniha vskutku je. Původní čtyřverší vypravují klasicizujícím jazykem (ale jaksi poťouchlým) o dějích dozajista úžasných, leč poněkud nesmyslných. Jak rozvernost a současně praštěnou „zaumnost" Carrollovy blouznivé epopeje převést do češtiny, je ovšem otázkou. Václav Pinkava na to šel „carrollovsky", ale po svém. Riziko bylo to značné, však rozhod se nésti je hrdě. Zdar jeho odvaze, neboť cesta za Snárkem je a bude vždy „o život". Nám ale pomohou groteskně luzné ilustrace mistra nad jiné povolaného, Adolfa Borna.

Soubor deseti krátkých humorných povídek vycházel v letech 1880–1885 jako seriál v časopise. Lewis Carroll skryl do každého příběhu nejméně jeden hlavolam z aritmetiky, algebry či geometrie, a jeho tehdejší čtenáři mu posílali více či méně seriózní řešení. Došlé odpovědi Carrollovi posloužily nejen pro výklad daného matematického úkolu, ale také jako příležitost k dalším hříčkám a hrátkám, jež tvoří druhou část knihy. Zamotaný příběh má veškerý šarm a důvtip Carrollových proslulých děl a podle mnohých čtenářů je dokonce nejzdařilejším autorovým pokusem o kombinaci humoru a matematiky.

Neustále ohromená, zvídavá a taky hodně zvědavá Alenka se dostane do zvláštního světa, ve kterém nedává skoro nic smysl. Pronásleduje například mluvícího králíka s hodinkami a setkává se s dalšími podivnými stvořeními, která se chovají naprosto nepochopitelně. Anebo ona se chová nepochopitelně? A jak to asi vypadá za zrcadlem? Vydejte se s Alenkou do kraje divů a za zrcadlo a prožijte s ní dobrodružství, která jinde neprožijete.

Nejznámější dílo Lewise Carrolla v novém překladu Heleny Čížkové. Neustále ohromená a zvídavá Alenka se v obou příbězích obsažených v knize dostane do zvláštního cizího světa. V prvním díle Alenčina dobrodružství v kraji divů pronásleduje Alenka mluvícího králíka s hodinkami. Skokem do králičí nory se začne rozvíjet příběh plný podivuhodných událostí. Alenka se zde setkává s nejrůznějšími stvořeními, která se chovají zcela nepochopitelně. Druhý díl Za zrcadlem a co tam Alenka našla je volné pokračování, v němž se Alenka rozhodne objevit, jak to vypadá ve světě za zrcadlem, ve kterém je mimochodem všechno naopak.

Společné vydání dvou slavných děl klasické anglické literatury.

Dílo klasika světové literatury s ilustracemi Dušana Kállaye.

Klasická pohádková knížka vypráví o dobrodružstvích malého děvčátka ve fantastické zemi. Alenka se králičí norou dostává do podivuhodného světa zvířat, která se chovají jako lidé, ale mluví v hádankách, nad kterými se musí Alenka i čtenáři zamýšlet. I v říši za zrcadlem nachází Alenka podivuhodné věci; ožívají zde šachovnicové figurky a vše je zrcadlově obrácené.

Když se před sto padesáti lety propadla Alenka králičí dírou dolů, našla tam říši divů, v níž byla nedůsledná pravidla a neomalená ega stejně běžná jako ve světě, který nechala nahoře. Ale co to bylo za svět? A jakým způsobem reagovalo město Oxford v šedesátých letech devatenáctého století na to, že Alenka zmizela? Gregory Maguire napsal fantaskní román, ve kterém zaměřuje svoji okouzlující představivost na podsvětí, podzemí a podezdívky – a také na porozumění starému i novému. Maguire nám nabízí invenčně pootočenou variantu světově proslulého Carrollova příběhu. Ada – Alenčina kamarádka, o které je v knize Alenčina dobrodružství v kraji divů pouze letmá zmínka – se vydá z domu, aby navštívila Alenku. Přichází ale maličko pozdě – a potom se sama propadne králičí dírou dolů... (webové stránky nakladatelství)

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.

In 1864, Lewis Carroll sent Alice’s Adventures Under Ground , a handwritten and illustrated manuscript, as a gift to Alice Liddell, the daughter of his Oxford dean. This formed the basis for Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland —introducing timeless characters such as Alice, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, and the Gryphon—although it differs considerably from the later work, with the author himself approving its publication in 1886. Alice’s Adventures Under Ground provides an enchanting glimpse into Carroll’s imaginative process, and deserves to be ranked as a classic for all ages in its own right.

One of the most celebrated and best-loved nonsense poems in the English language, Jabberwocky first appeared in 1872 in Lewis Carroll's classic Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Joel Stewart reveals a natural affinity with Carroll's vision, capturing with great wit and imagination the extraordinary world of the poem and its memorable creatures, such as the Jubjub bird, the frumious Bandersnatch and the manxome Jabberwock.

Charles L. Dodgson was a Mathematical Lecturer at Oxford, better known as Lewis Carroll. This collection of mathematical puzzles was compiled in 1893, following years of insomnia. Dodgson claimed to have solved every puzzle, without pencil and paper, during his sleepness nights. This incredible feat is difficult to comprehend, even for such a genius. The complexity and good humor of the problems and tales are suggestive of his well-loved "Alice in Wonderland". Dodgson also hints at his pioneering the field of symbolic logic

Now more than one hundred years after Lewis Carroll’s immortal "Through the Looking-Glass" was published, lovers of the "Alice" books have a new episode written by Carroll in which Alice meets an aged, bad-tempered wasp who wears a yellow wig. The episode, which was originally intended to follow the White Knight sequence in Chapter VIII, is rich in Carrollian humor, nonsense, and wordplay; and it contains a five-stanza poem referencing the yellow wig. According to Martin Gardner, the discovery and publication of "The Wasp in a Wig" is an event of great significance not only for Carrollians but for anyone interested in language, humor, the adventures of Alice or, for that matter, wasps.

Here is the perfect gift for all insomniacs: a feast of intriguing puzzles, rhymes, limericks, and other entertainments devised by the author of Alice in Wonderland to help pass what he called “the wakeful hours.” “The dilemma my friends suppose me to be in,” said Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, “has, for its two horns, the endurance of a sleepless night, and the adoption of some recipe for inducing sleep.” In this delightful book, therefore, are collected a splendid variety of the things he devised to help rid himself of insomnia. They range from simple number problems and calming calculations to a number of whimsical activites: composing rhymes at midnight, conjuring up ghosts, planning dreams, devising shadow shows, and writing in the dark by means of Nyctograph.
