Product Description
Product Description
Supervised by Carroll himself, here is the first foreign language translation of the children's book classic after its original 1865 publication. While the humor, verses, songs, and puns made many consider the work untranslatable, translator Antonie Zimmermann solved that problem by substituting common German phrases for the English originals. Includes 42 John Tenniel illustrations.

Alice in German,
This review is from: Alices Abenteuer im Wunderland (Paperback)
As a professor of German literature, I must declare that this book is an excellent translation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." A faithful version to the English is this translation. Carroll's wondrous verbal jokes and puns remain alive in German. Very recommended!

Alice auf deutsch,
By "jamie_c" (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alices Abenteuer im Wunderland (Paperback)
Please be warned that this book is written in the old fashioned German script font and was very hard to read. It actually gave me such a head ache that I couldn't pick the book back up and never finished it.

Cool classic in German!,

This review is from: Alices Abenteuer im Wunderland (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a friend who reads German. It looks great with nice illustrations. I was a little worried about the Dover edition since they are normally thin floppy paperbacks, but this book exceeded my expectations. The font is not bad like someone else mentioned. It looks like old English, but I don't find it hard to distinguish the letters.I just wish there were more classics in German on Amazon.
