Alice in the Wonderland

Girl Alice went through the mirror and ended up in the Looking Glass, where the world is a large chessboard . The book is preceded by a chess diagram , a plot using the elements of chess notation and a list of characters that are presented as white and black pieces. From the looking-glass room, Alice gets into the looking-glass garden of the talking flowers, where she meets the Black Queen and becomes the White Pawn. Then she passes the third cage by train and finds herself in a forest in which all the names have disappeared. There she learns from the twins Thrall and Trulyul that everything that happens is the dream of the Black King. The meeting with the White Queen ends in a shop where she buys an egg that has turned into Humpty Dumpty. After that, she finds herself in a new forest, where she becomes a witness to the duel between Leo and the Unicorn. The Black Knight almost captivates her, but the White Knight saves her. Then she steps on the eighth cell and becomes the queen. At the end, her journey is a dream.

Jabberwocky

The poem, consisting mainly of artificial words, is best known in Russian in the translation of Dina Orlovskaya as “ Barmaglot ” thanks to the cartoon “Alice through the Looking Glass” ; In addition to this version, there are several equally interesting translations. ^{[3] [4]}

It was brewing. Creamy Shore
Poking around
And grunts grunted
Like mumziki in mov.

Oh fear the Barmaglot, son!
He is so swirling and wild
And in the wilderness grows a giant -
Vicious Brandashmyg!

But he took the sword, and he took the shield,
High is full of thoughts.
In the globach his path lies
Under the tree Tumtum.

He stood under a tree and waits.
And suddenly thunder fell -
The terrible Barmaglot flies
And burns with fire!

One-two, one-two! Grass is burning
Vzi vzi - shearing a sword
Alas! Alas! And the head
Drumming off the shoulders!

Oh my shining boy!
You won the battle!
Oh brave hero
I praise you!

It was brewing. Creamy Shore
Poked on nav.
And grunts grunted
Like mumziki in mov.

Translation of Dina Orlovskaya

Tenniel painted illustrations on boxwood printed boards on which cliches were cut. Cutting boards involved one of the best engravers in London at that time - Edward Delzel. He advised the artist not to spoil the boards with the seal, but to make galvanoplastic casts from them. Tenniel took his advice, but managed to save the board only due to a strong deterioration in the quality of the final prints. Neither Tenniel nor Carroll liked the resulting illustrations. For this reason, the first edition of the book was destroyed. Only the second edition went on sale, illustrations for which were created using new copies. The original boards, from which no prints were ever printed, were sent to the Macmillan Publishing House archives for storage. They were accidentally discovered in 1985 ^[5] .

• In Roger Zhelyazny’s book The Chronicles of Amber , the main characters in a state of drug intoxication “brought to life” many of the characters of Lewis Carroll. There is even a battle scene with the Barmaglot .
• O. Henry 's story “ Kings and Cabbage ” borrowed its name from the poem about Walrus and Carpenter, and the preface to the novel is called “The Carpenter's Tale”.
• The science fiction tetralogy of John Ringo “The Journey of the Cosmic Bubble” ( Eng. “Voyage of the Space Bubble” ) is filled with references to the plot of the book “Alice through the Looking Glass” and, in particular, to a poem about the fight with the Barmaglot. For example, the names of each of the four novels are lines from a poem.

There are also many references through with Carroll's first book .

• The song “ I Am the Walrus ” ( Russian “I am a walrus” ) by The Beatles is associated with a poem about Walrus and Carpenter.
• The song " White Rabbit " ( Rus. "White Rabbit" ) by Jefferson Airplane echoes the plot of the book.

There are also many references through with Carroll's first book .

The first part of the series of horror films "Resident Evil" has many allusions to Lewis Carroll's Alice: the name of the main character Alice, literally - Alice; The Red Queen, demanding to chop off the head; white rabbit virus test; getting into a secret laboratory through a mirror; the logic integrated circuit in the Queen's computer displaying a chessboard; grandfather clock with a pendulum, on the dial of which is painted the figure of Alice. Actually the book itself is noticeable in one of the scenes of the film ^[6] .
