简介 Intro

《Alice\’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass》—— Lewis Carroll · 刘易斯·卡罗尔

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature.

Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books—with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedlesrcm, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.—by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children’s literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history.

Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up—or down, or all turned round—as seen through the expert eyes of a child.

刘易斯•卡罗尔因为这两部童书而被称为现代童话之父，他的这两部《爱丽丝》一改此前传统童话（包括《安徒生童话》、《格林童话》）充斥着杀戮和说教的风格，奠定了怪诞、奇幻的现代童话基调。仅从这点来说，就堪称跨时代的里程碑。

《爱丽丝漫游奇境》讲述了小姑娘爱丽丝追赶一只揣着怀表、会说话的白兔，掉进了一个兔子洞，由此坠入了神奇的地下世界。在这个世界里，喝一口水就能缩得如同老鼠大小，吃一块蛋糕又会变成巨人，同一块蘑菇吃右边就变矮，吃其左边则又长高，狗发脾气时便咆哮和摇尾巴，而猫咆哮和摇尾巴却是因为高兴……

她还遇到了一大堆人和动物：渡渡鸟、蜥蜴比尔、柴郡猫、疯帽匠、三月野兔、睡鼠等。她在一扇小门后的大花园里遇到了一整副的扑克牌，牌里粗暴的红桃王后等等。爱丽丝帮助兔子寻找丢失的扇子和手套，她之后还帮三个园丁躲避红王后的迫害，她还在荒诞的法庭上大声抗议国王和王后对好人的诬陷。在这个奇幻疯狂的世界里，似乎只有爱丽丝是唯一清醒的人，她不断探险，同时又不断追问“我是谁”，在探险的同时不断认识自我，不断成长，终于成长为一个“大”姑娘的时候，猛然惊醒，才发现原来这一切都是自己的一个梦境。

《镜中世界》是卡罗尔继《爱丽丝漫游奇境》后的又一成功着作，基本构思与《爱丽丝漫游奇境》大体相同，讲述的还是小姑娘爱丽丝在一场梦中的种种神奇虚幻的经历。所不同的是，卡罗尔根据镜中影像与真实形象相反的基本原理，将爱丽丝的这一场梦发生的场地设计在镜子之中。镜中的一切景象都是颠倒的，造成了十分荒诞而又滑稽可笑的效果。而且，作者除了把表面的镜中物象颠倒之外，还夸张地从深层将生活常理颠倒，诸如时光倒流，不会说话的花草动物开口说话等等。爱丽丝梦中遇到的人物也都性格乖张，不同常人。如红方王后反复无常，有时强词夺理，有时又和蔼可亲；英语文化中大名鼎鼎的“一对鼓槌”特伟哥和特伟弟心胸狭窄，胆小怕事，却又喜欢自吹自擂，夸张炫耀；憨墩胖墩形象滑稽可笑，头脑简单愚蠢，却虚荣傲慢，刚愎自用。此外，白方王后和白方骑士等人物也都各有怪癖，读来令人喷饭。

读者评论 Readers\’ Comments

这样的童话多有意思。

这本书的价值在中国被大大地低估了。的确，有些东西，只有原文才能彰显其魅力。

大爱~~里面的人名很COOL

原版插画很精致。

为数不多读完的英文书吧，前期意识流挺难读下去，后期渐入佳境，其实不太懂很多场景，很多情节的意义在哪，这就是本书的魅力所在吧，荒诞至极，没有逻辑，但还是很吸引人。疯帽匠，三月兔，红心皇后，公爵夫人，石乌龟，柴郡猫。柴郡猫和爱丽丝的对话很经典。虽说是儿童小说，但有些句子理解起来还是很难的。

作者 Author

Lewis Carroll · 刘易斯·卡罗尔

Creator of the brilliantly witty Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was a pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford don with a stammer.

He was born at Daresbury, Cheshire on January 27, 1832, son of a vicar. As the eldest boy among eleven children, he learned early to amuse his siblings by writing and editing family magazines. He was esrccated at Christ Church College, Oxford, where he lectured in mathematics from1855 to 1881. In 1861 he was ordained as a deacon.

Dodgson’s entry into the world of fiction was accidental. It happened one “golden afternoon” as he escorted his colleague’s three daughters on a trip up the river Isis. There he invented the story that might have been forgotten if not for the persistence of the youngest girl, Alice Liddell. Thanks to her, and to her encouraging friends, Alice was published in 1865, with drawings by the political cartoonist, John Tenniel. After Alice, Dodgson wrote Phantasmagoria and Other Poems (1869), Through the Looking-Glass (1871), The Hunting of Shark (1876, and Rhyme? and Reason? (1883).

As a mathematician Dodgson is best known for Euclid and His Modern Rivals (1879). He was also a superb children’s photographer, who captured the delicate, sensuous beauty of such little girls as Alice Liddell and Ellen Terry, the future actress. W.H. Auden called him “one of the best portrait photographer of the century.” Dodgson was also an inventor; his projects included a game of arithmetic croquet, a substitute for glue, and an apparatus for making notes in the dark. Though he sought publication for his light verse, he never dreamed his true gift–telling stories to children–merited publication or lasting fame, and he avoided publicity scrupulously Charles Dodgson died in 1898 of influenza.

原名查尔斯•路德维希•道奇逊，与安徒生、格林兄弟齐名的世界顶尖儿童文学大师。1832年1月出生于英国柴郡的一个牧师家庭，1898年卒于萨里。曾在牛津大学基督堂学院任教数学达30年之久，业余爱好非常广泛，尤其喜爱儿童肖像摄影。他的第一本童书《爱丽丝漫游奇境》于1865年出版，当时就引起了巨大轰动，1871年又推出了续篇《镜中世界》，更是好评如潮。两部童书旋即风靡了整个世界，成为一代又一代孩子们乃至成人喜爱的读物。
