Alice au pays des merveilles. De l'autre côté du miroir

One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it:-it was the black kitten's fault entirely. For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so you see that it couldn't have had any hand in the mischief.

The way Dinah washed her children's faces was this: first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: and just now, as I said, she was hard at work on the white kitten, which was lying quite still and trying to purr-no doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good.

But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; and there it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle.

Through the Looking Glass

This   carefully crafted ebook: "The Hunting of the Snark - With the Original High   Resolution Illustrations of Henry Holiday" is formatted for your eReader with   a functional and detailed table of contents.
The Hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll. Written from 1874 to 1876, the poem borrows the setting, some creatures, and   eight portmanteau words from Carroll's earlier poem "Jabberwocky"   in his children's novel Through the Looking Glass. The plot follows a crew of   ten trying to hunt the Snark, an animal which may turn out to be a highly   dangerous Boojum; the only one of the crew to find the Snark quickly   vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that it was a Boojum after all.   Henry Holiday illustrated the poem, and the poem is dedicated to Gertrude   Chataway, whom Carroll met as a young girl at the English seaside town   Sandown in the Isle of Wight in 1875.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name, Lewis   Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and   photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland   and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The   Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the   genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic,   and fantasy.

The Hunting of the Snark - With the Original High Resolution Illustrations of Henry Holiday

In 1865, English author CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (1832-1898), aka Lewis Carroll, wrote a fantastical adventure story for the young daughters of a friend. The adventures of Alice-named for one of the little girls to whom the book was dedicated-who journeys down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical underworld realm instantly struck a chord with the British public, and then with readers around the world. In 1872, in reaction to the universal acclaim *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* received, Dodgson published this sequel. Nothing is quite what it seems once Alice journeys through the looking-glass, and Dodgson's wit is infectious as he explores concepts of mirror imagery, time running backward, and strategies of chess-all wrapped up in the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unlikely characters. In many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today's pop culture than the first book.

LES GRANDS TEXTES DU XIXe SIÈCLE

Par un jour d'été 1862, sur les berges de la Tamise, un jeune professeur d'Oxford, poète et mathématicien, improvise un conte pour distraire les trois fillettes d'un de ses amis. Charles Dodgson, alias Lewis Carroll, est en train d'improviser Alice au pays des merveilles.
Assise au bord de la rivière, Alice s'ennuie un peu quand soudain, venu de nulle part, surgit un lapin blanc pressé de regagner son terrier. N'hésitant pas à le suivre, Alice pénètre dans un monde de prodiges et de menaces qui n'est autre que le royaume de l'enfance. Et voici le Chat du Cheshire à l'étrange sourire, la terrible Reine de Cour, le Chapelier fou et le Lièvre de Mars, la Tortue-Façon-Tête de Veau et le Valet-Poisson...
Un siècle et demi plus tard, ce monde enfantin et absurde, surréel et symbolique, est resté le nôtre.

Ouvrage d'extrême jeunesse, "La canne du destin" a été inséré en 1849 par Lewis Carroll dans sa petite revue manuscrite.

La canne du destin (Walking-stick of destiny)

" I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir," said Alice, "Because I'm not myself, you see."When Alice sees a white rabbit take a watch out of its waistcoat pocket she decides to follow it, and a sequence of most unusual events is set in motion. This mini book contains the entire topsy-turvy stories of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, accompanied by practical notes and Martina Pelouso's memorable full-colour illustrations.

Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles by Lewis Carroll The first French translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (there have been no less than seventeen others) was supervised by Lewis Carroll himself. In the opinion of many experts, and countless older and younger French readers, it is still the best. It has a remarkable freshness and originality, and admirably renders the English puns and parodies with French equivalents. "How Doth the Little Crocodile?" for instance, is turned into a parody of La Fontaine, the staple of French lesson books. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.
