Book excerpt: Überarbeitete und illustrierte deutsche Fassung Lewis Carrolls vielschichtige Kindergeschichte führt Alice auf den Schwingen des Schlafes ins Wunderland. Ein sprechendes weißes Kaninchen geleitet das Mädchen durch den dunklen, tiefen Schacht seines Baus in eine rätselhafte Welt nahe dem Erdmittelpunkt. Hier begegnet Alice wundersamen Wesen wie dem Hutmacher, der Haselmaus oder dem Kartenkönigspaar und erlebt Geschichten, die die Ordnung ihrer bisher gewohnten Kinderwelt in Frage stellen. Bis heute gehört das 1865 erschienene Werk Alice im Wunderland zu den Klassikern der Kinder- und Weltliteratur. Ein Buch, das jeder einmal gelesen haben sollte. Es ist gefüllt mit skurrilen Figuren, die schon früh ihren Weg in die populäre Kultur gefunden haben. Genießen Sie die wunderschönen bekannten Illustrationen von John Tenniel. Mit einem Nachwort und Ergänzungen zur Übersetzung. Der König und die Königin der Herzen saßen auf ihrem Trone, als sie ankamen, und eine große Menge war um sie versammelt – allerlei kleine Vögel und Tiere, außerdem das ganze Pack Karten: der Bube stand vor ihnen, in Ketten, einen Soldaten an jeder Seite, um ihn zu bewachen; dicht bei dem Könige befand sich das weiße Kaninchen, eine Trompete in einer Hand, in der andern eine Pergamentrolle. Im Mittelpunkte des Gerichtshofes stand ein Tisch mit einer Schüssel voll Torten: sie sahen so appetitlich aus, daß der bloße Anblick Alice ganz hungrig darauf machte. – »Ich wünschte, sie machten schnell mit dem Verhör und reichten die Erfrischungen herum.« Aber dazu schien wenig Aussicht zu sein, so daß sie anfing, Alles genau in Augenschein zu nehmen, um sich die Zeit zu vertreiben.

Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams!

He longed to see the world but was told he could aspire to be little more than a servant. Edmund Hillary was a humble beekeeper from New Zealand, who spent his youth dreaming of adventures he could never hope to experience. And Everest was the ultimate adventure. The mountain's peak is the highest point on Earth, stretching beyond the clouds. So dangerous and challenging, Everest had never been successfully climbed and many had died trying. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary joined a team of explorers determined to reach its top. Alone at the top of the world with their oxygen running low, they faced brutal elements and new dangers at every turn. And they were armed with little more than their courage, determination, and a belief in each other. But would that be enough to achieve the impossible, what no man had done before?

Download or read book Lewis Carroll s Alice s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass written by Zoe Jaques and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging in several different versions during the author's lifetime, Lewis Carroll's Alice novels have a publishing history almost as magical and mysterious as the stories themselves. Zoe Jaques and Eugene Giddens offer a detailed and nuanced account of the initial publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and investigate how their subsequent transformations through print, illustration, film, song, music videos, and even stamp-cases and biscuit tins affected the reception of these childhood favourites. The authors consider issues related to the orality of the original tale and its impact on subsequent transmission, the differences between the manuscripts and printed editions, and the politics of writing and publishing for children in the 1860s. In addition, they take account of Carroll's own responses to the books' popularity, including his writing of major adaptations and a significant body of meta-textual commentary, and his reactions to the staging of Alice in Wonderland. Attentive to the child reader, how changing notions of childhood identity and needs affected shifting narratives of the story, and the representation of the child's body by various illustrators, the authors also make a significant contribution to childhood studies.

Download or read book Interconnecting Translation Studies and Imagology written by Luc van Doorslaer and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isn’t translation all about saying exactly the same thing in another language? Aren’t national images totally outdated in this era of globalization? Most people might agree but this book amply illustrates how persistent and multifaceted clichés on translation and nation can be. Time and again, translating involves making transfer choices and these choices are never neutral. Though globalization has seemingly all but erased national ideologies and cultural borders, such ideologies and borders continue to play a determining role in conflicts, identity politics and cultural profiles. The place where transfer choices and forms of national and cultural representation come together is also the place where Translation Studies and Imagology meet. This book offers a wealth of chapters showing how decisive selection and transfer processes can be in representing national images, both self-images and images of the other(s). It shows also how intensely the two disciplines can work together and mutually benefit from shared data and methodologies.

Download or read book The Nursery Alice written by Lewis Carroll and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a 'Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in." Lewis Carroll's diary, 15th February, 1881 The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan & Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice. It was intended, wrote Carroll, "to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs'-eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . ." With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations. The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience, readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern. Gloriously reproduced for the anniversary year, this edition retains the every word of the original The Nursery Alice and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel's artwork - lost in reproductions across the decades - along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, a delight for child and adult readers alike.
