Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
69.99 €
Lewis Carroll's tale accompanied by a detailed commentary focusing on the Victorian era. Historical and everyday notes, drawings and engravings, pages from books and magazines of the time, and interactive elements create a vivid image of Victorian England. 150 years ago, a mathematician from Oxford wrote a fairy tale for a little English girl.
Since then, the Wonderland he invented has stirred the imagination of readers around the world: children and adults, historians and artists, philosophers and poets. But on the pages of this book behind the cheerful confusion of Wonderland are the outlines of another country unfamiliar to us - a distant and inscrutable Victorian England. Next to the fairy tale, the era comes alive in the smallest details: you can visit London and Oxford, find yourself in a Victorian house, look at old things, marvel at the latest inventions, learn how to meet the queen and why you should not write three-layer letters, what to make fake turtle soup of, what it is like to bathe in a woolen jacket, where to ride a penny and a farthing and when to shout "Snip snip snip snorum!". What's more, not only can you learn how to croquet and dance a nautical quadrille, but you can also turn a scarlet rose into a white rose, seat all the participants of a mad tea party at the table and open the door to a wonderful garden. With game applications.
