"Alice Through the Looking-Glass," which was published in 1871 as a sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," is one of the most famous books written in English. The surreal fairy tale about the adventures of a little heroine in a completely absurd magical land is so serious and profound that for more than a century it has remained a favorite reading for both children and adults. The linguistic puzzles of Carroll, the immense number of examples of wordplay, and the humor of logical contradiction make it indispensable for learning English.
To facilitate reading and understanding the text, each page is accompanied by translations of individual words and necessary comments, and at the end of the book, there is an English-Russian dictionary containing most of the commonly used words. Unlike bilingual editions, it allows the reader to interpret the meanings of words depending on the context and thus not only makes reading in a foreign language enjoyable but also develops language skills. Improve your English proficiency by reading this wonderful fairy tale!
