Aventurile lui Alice în ¿ara Minunilor

Lewis Carroll este pseudonimul folosit de Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Acesta a fost lector de matematic¿ la universitatea Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson a început povestea pe 4 iulie 1862, când a întreprins o c¿l¿torie într-o barc¿ cu vâsle pe râul Tamisa (Isis) din Oxford împreun¿ cu reverendul Robinson Duckworth, cu Alice Liddell (în vârst¿ de zece ani), fiica decanului universit¿¿ii, ¿i cu cele dou¿ surori ale acesteia, Lorina (treisprezece ani) ¿i Edith (opt ani). Dup¿ cum reiese din poezia de la începutul c¿r¿ii, cele trei fete i-au cerut lui Dodgson o poveste iar, acesta, cu reticen¿¿, a început s¿ le spun¿ prima versiune a pove¿tii de fä¿. Cartea a fost publicat¿ în cele din urm¿ în 1865, con¿inând numeroase referin¿e oarecum ascunse la cei cinci c¿l¿tori. Cartea Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a fost tradus¿ pentru prima dat¿ în limba român¿ în anii 40. De atunci, mai mult de dou¿zeci de traduceri au fost publicate, pe lâng¿ diverse repovestiri ¿i prescurt¿ri. Traducerea de fä¿ î¿i propune s¿ contribuie la varietatea româneasc¿ de traduceri cu o versiune mai modern¿ ¿i actualizat¿, în tendin¿¿ cu publicul actual. -- Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author’s real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Isis in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was first translated into Romanian in the 1940s. Since then, more than twenty translations have been published, apart from various retellings and abridgements. The present one aims to contribute to the Romanian array of translations with a more modern and up-to-date version, keeping up with the current audience.
