Lewis Carroll was a minister in the Church of England and a Professor of Mathematics at Christ Church College. In his diary he described "An expedition up the river to Godstowe with the three Liddells", daughters of the college Dean, "on which occasion I told them the fairy tale of 'Alice's Adventures Underground', which I undertook to write out for Alice".

First published in 1865, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland was an immediate success. Carroll's sense of the absurd and his amazing gift for games of logic and language have made the Alice books popular with both adults and children, and they have remained some of the best-known children's books written in English.

In this engaging series of lectures, Carroll William Westfall, the University of Notre Dame's Frank Montana Professor of Architecture, delves into the classical principles of Western architecture. Exploring features such as ornamentation, decoration, and innovation, Professor Westfall shows how architecture is derived from the very principles that form the cornerstones of our civilization - and, with scholarly precision, he also demonstrates how this field of endeavor is rooted in nature itself.

It's late at night, and the rain is pouring down on the Dublin city streets. A mother is grieving for her dead child. She stands silently outside the home of the teenage boy she believes responsible. She watches.... In a kitchen on the same square, a girl waits anxiously for her mum to come home. She knows exactly where she is, but she knows she cannot reach her. A few doors down, and a widow sits alone in her room. She has just delivered a bombshell to her family during dinner, and her life is about to change forever.

Voilà une petite fille rêveuse et pleine de fantaisie qui a bien de la chance : elle va visiter un pays merveilleux où les lapins parlent, où l'on rapetisse et l'on grandit à volonté, où les chats sourient et où on joue au croquet avec des cartes à jouer ! Hum... quel drôle de pays, vraiment étrange n'est-ce pas ? Tout cela ne serait-il pas qu'un rêve ?

Einen Schnatz zu erkennen ist gar nicht so einfach - und ihn zu fangen noch viel schwieriger...

Alice sees the other side of the Looking Glass, and enters another world of whimsical enchantment. She encounters argumentative chessmen, Jabberwocky monsters, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and some very insolent flowers. Carroll continues the development of his Wonderland in this second, and many feel richer, adventure of Alice.

Alice begins her fantastic journey by following an unprecedented White Rabbit with a pocket watch. While in the topsy turvy world of Wonderland, Alice takes advice from a caterpillar and attends a mad tea party. She meets the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon, and participates in a ludicrous courtroom scene. Each character has its own charming voice, as B. J. Harrison delivers one of his most whimsical performances.

A full cast performance starring Joan Greenwood and Stanley Holloway.

Die kleine Alice folgt einem Kaninchen in seinen Bau und landet in einer absurd-komischen Märchenwelt. Sie begegnet der Grinsekatze, den Spielkartenmenschen und nimmt an einer unendlich langen Teegesellschaft teil. Die Geschichte von Lewis Carroll gehört zu den meistzitierten Klassikern der Literatur.

Alice wird während eines langweiligen Picknicks mit ihrer Schwester auf ein weißes Kaninchen aufmerksam, das in größter Eile mit einer riesigen Uhr an ihr vorbeispringt. Sie läuft ihm hinterher und gelangt so durch den Kaninchenbau in das Wunderland.

"Sylvie e Bruno", pubblicato nel 1889, è il terzo e ultimo romanzo di Lewis Carroll, ben più famoso come autore di "Alice nel paese delle meraviglie". Il romanzo è piuttosto eterogeneo, e parti decisamente adatte ai ragazzi con semplici storie e filastrocche, si alternano con discussioni di tipo filosofico e religioso, o dialoghi che si svolgono sulla vena dell'assurdo, tipici dell'autore, per cui si situa decisamente tra romanzi per adulti (che abbiano vivo, in sé, il loro bambino interiore).

In the wake of World War II, as turmoil and chaos were giving way to optimism, Americans were looking for inspiration and role models showing that it was possible to start from the bottom and work your way up to the top—and they found it in Stymie, the failed racehorse plucked from the discard heap by trainer Hirsch Jacobs. Taking listeners on a crowd-pleasing ride with Stymie and Jacobs, Out of the Clouds unwinds a real-life Horatio Alger tale of a dauntless team and its working-class fans who lived vicariously through the stouthearted little colt they embraced as their own.

Wry, dry, and arch, this production of Lewis Carroll's classic tale of a fall through a rabbit hole to a fantasy world is otherwise just as familiar as ever. After a century and a half, Alice's adventure in Wonderland, one of the finest examples of literary nonsense, continues to attract listeners.

La curiosidad de Alicia la llevará a perseguir un conejo por el bosque hasta caer por una profunda conejera a un sitio en el centro de la tierra, descubriendo un submundo mágico, repleto de personajes excéntricos. El genial Lewis Carroll crea un universo maravilloso, que será atravesado por la niña con toda su ingenuidad.

Slipping through the Looking-Glass, she meets another wild collection of fantasy characters including the Red and White Kings and Queens, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and is entertained by the poems "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter."

On an ordinary summer afternoon, Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters, she meets a rabbit with a pocket watch, joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land, Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute...
