Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
69.99 €
Lewis Carroll's tale is accompanied by a detailed commentary dedicated to the Victorian era. Historical and everyday notes, drawings and engravings, pages from books and magazines of the time, and interactive elements create a vivid image of Victorian England. 150 years ago, an Oxford mathematician wrote a fairy tale for a little English girl.
Since then, the Wonderland he created has captured the imaginations of readers around the world: children and adults, historians and artists, philosophers and poets. But on the pages of this book, beyond the cheerful confusion of Wonderland, the outlines of another unfamiliar land emerge—the distant and incomprehensible Victorian England. Alongside the fairy tale, the era comes to life in meticulous detail: you can visit London and Oxford, find yourself in a Victorian house, examine antiques, marvel at the latest inventions, learn how to meet the Queen and why you shouldn't write three-ply letters, how to make fake turtle soup, what it's like to swim in a wool jacket, where to ride a penny and farthing, and when to shout "Snip-snap-snorum!" What's more, here you can not only learn to croquet and dance a sea quadrille, but also turn a red rose into a white one, seat everyone at the table for a mad tea party, and open the door to a wonderful garden. With game apps.
