Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
99.99 €
The story of the adventures of the girl Alice, who finds herself chasing a white rabbit in a strange and unpredictable Wonderland, has long been a classic of world fiction.
The world Alice finds herself in is the world of the game of nonsense, where everything is understood literally, where metaphor is deprived of its figurative meaning, where there is no semantic boundary between homophones, where paradox turns out to be the result of flawless logical construction. Alice, who is halfway from a child's perception of the world, held together only by bizarre logic, is surprised by the strangeness of the Wonderland opening before her and at the same time learns to accept it as it is. Illustrations by Ksenia Lavrova, a graphic artist, are peculiar and unique. In the space of Lewis Carroll's fairy tale, each character, each detail drawn by the artist, become independent characters in the story and enter into a dialog - among themselves and with the reader. This special subtle conversation fills the most ambiguous work of world literature in Nina Demurova's magnificent translation with new meanings and gives the reader an opportunity to look at the familiar text in a new way and unravel the mysteries of Wonderland.
