4. Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)
《爱丽丝梦游仙境》(1865年),路易斯•卡罗尔著
"Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?' Suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her."
“爱丽丝和姐姐并排坐在岸边,由于无事可做,开始觉得腻烦:她不时朝姐姐正在读的那本书上瞧上一两眼,可书上没有插图,也没有对话,爱丽丝心想,‘一本书要是没有插图和对话,那有什么意思呢?’突然一只红眼睛的白兔贴着她身边跑了过去。”
Charles Dodgson's Victorian fantasy was an instant sensation when published 150 years ago under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. To this day Alice's trip down the rabbit hole and her encounters with the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter and the rest, are fresh fodder for the literary imagination. Alice is now in the public domain, and the versions and variations continue to multiply. "Alice will always be my favourite because I love her curiosity and bravery," says Library Journal columnist Barbara Hoffert. (Credit: Macmillan)
150年前,查尔斯•道奇森用笔名路易斯•卡罗尔写下了这部维多利亚时代风格的奇幻故事,一经出版便引起轰动。直到如今,爱丽丝跌进兔子洞里的旅行,与柴郡猫、白兔、红心女王、疯帽子先生及其他角色的邂逅,仍然是文学想象力的源泉。爱丽丝俨然成为一个大众形象,人们根据她又不断创造出各种版本的故事。“爱丽丝会永远是我最喜欢的角色,因为我爱她的好奇心和勇敢无畏,”《图书馆杂志》专栏作家芭芭拉•霍佛特这样评价爱丽丝。(来源:麦克米伦出版社)
