THE COMPLETE ALICE IN WONDERLAND ADVENTURES (With Original Illustrations) - Enriched edition Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through The Looking-Glass

Lewis Carroll

Beschreibung

In "The Complete Alice in Wonderland Adventures," Lewis Carroll weaves a whimsical tapestry of narrative and nonsensical verse that engages readers of all ages with its surreal landscapes and eccentric characters. This definitive collection encompasses both "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," capturing the essence of Victorian literary escapism. Carroll's inventive use of language, playful puns, and masterful illustrations by John Tenniel create a unique fusion of storytelling and artistry, inviting readers to probe the boundaries of logic and reason in a world where whimsy reigns supreme. Lewis Carroll, a mathematician and logician by trade, infused his literary works with his deep understanding of language, logic, and the childhood imagination. Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, his fascination with paradoxes and puzzles is reflected throughout these narratives, which are often viewed as critiques of the society of his time. His close relationship with young Alice Liddell, the inspiration for his protagonist, further grounded these works in a sense of both nostalgia and exploration, bridging the gap between childhood innocence and adult perceptions. "The Complete Alice in Wonderland Adventures" is essential for readers seeking to delve into the depths of imagination and the playful nature of logic. Carroll's enchanting narrative style, paired with the original illustrations, provides a timeless experience that captivates and challenges, making this edition a significant addition to both personal libraries and academic collections.

The Incredible Aliens - A...

William Bender Jr.

The Incredible Aliens by William Bender Jr. - Narant's personal problem seemed of more importance than his mission as an interstellar investigator. But they combined when he met—The Incredible Aliens
It was only a tiny dot on the view screen when the military lookout on the armed cruiser identified it as an alien spaceship and sounded the general alert. Technicist Ninth Class Narant, chief psychanalyst aboard, studied its approach with a rebellious, almost passionate hope that the impossible was at last going to happen.
Or was it impossible? They were the first men to visit this planetary system. Why couldn't they expect to encounter a truly superior race for a change?
Intently, Narant examined the course of the alien craft. Rather mischievously he hoped the stranger would suddenly adopt evasion tactics showing it had detected their presence in the black void between the 6th and 7th planets of the Star Restus. That would certainly be a sign of superiority! And what a blow to Central Scientific Headquarters back home. The anti-detection shield was one of their proudest accomplishments.
And yet, though still wishful, Narant realized deep in his heart that such hopes were blighted. Illogical and improbable. No people in the Universe could even compare with them. Explorers and merchants and military ships and privateers had prowled all the great planetary systems of the galaxy. They and their technology reigned supreme everywhere. Indeed, the accumulated evidence of their supremacy even formed the irrefutable foundation of Central Scientific's dogma on selective breeding.
"I must ask you to leave the bridge now, doctor." The voice, crisp and authoritative, crackled over Narant's shoulder.
