Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (English-Chinese Parallel Text)

Author: (English) Lewis Carroll
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 1987-12-01
Features: The characters and stories in this book are closely related to the background of that time. The author also embeds subtle satire and humor in the absurd and bizarre. The animals and objects in the book are personified; they possess both the characteristics of their respective animals or objects and certain human-like personality traits. Some poems in the book imitate familiar poems of the time, which may be somewhat alien to Chinese readers, but this does not reduce the overall of the book. There are also many puns and linguistic jokes in the book. As this is a bilingual edition (English-Chinese), the translation strives to stay true to the original text, and annotations by both the editor and translator are provided to help readers understand.
