  Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

  Lewis Carroll

  A book for the collective reading of all generations - each person will find their own interpretation and their own enchantment here. The fairy tale story of Alice's adventures in Wonderland was created on a hot July afternoon in 1862, when during a boat ride on the Thames, Lewis Carroll, a mathematics lecturer at Oxford and author of serious mathematical books, told it to little Alice and her two sisters. And it was this story, not the scientific works, that brought the writer worldwide fame. Encouraged by the immense success of the book, Carroll wrote a second part of the story a few years later, titled Alice Through the Looking Glass. 
  "Alice in Wonderland" is a special work. It does not present the world as we see it every day, but shows it in the dream of the heroine, and dreams, as you know, are ruled by different laws. Therefore, in the book, known fragments of reality are arranged into completely new, often nonsensical wholes, and real characters, mixed with fantastic ones, look and behave differently than in life. 
  And one more note: "Alice in Wonderland" is one of those books that are worth returning to. Once you read it as a strange fairy tale, full of extraordinary, surprising events, but on the next reading, many new meanings will be revealed to you. However, every reader will always be amazed by the richness of the author's imagination and ingenuity, and each will succumb to the charm of his unique humor.
