This is the story of a girl named Alice who was about to pick some daisies one day when she saw a white rabbit with pink eyes. He was dressed in a waistcoat,took out a watch, looked at it, and said he’d be late. He ran down a rabbit hole and Alice, who was amazed, followed him. She fell way, way down the rabbit hole and when she finally landed, her adventures in Wonderland began. She had found another world, previously hidden to people. As she explored this new world she met many interesting characters that are all able to talk, like the White Rabbit that she followed, a mouse, a blue caterpillar, the Chesire Cat, the Mock Turtle, the March Hare, the Hatter, a dormouse, the Queen of Hearts, the King of Hearts, a duck, a lizard, a puppy, and a gryphon, which is half lion and half eagle. The great thing about Wonderland is that Alice takes you along with her as the story gets told, so you don’t have to fall down a rabbit hole and get lost yourself. But you can still experience all of her amazing adventures, which is why this is one of the most favorite stories in the world.
Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even curiouser than Wonderland. She finds herself caught up in the great looking-glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. But it isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems.
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. Dodgson's tale was published in 1865 as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by "Lewis Carroll" with illustrations by John Tenniel. The first print run of 2,000 was held back because Tenniel objected to the print quality. A new edition was quickly printed, released in December of the same year but carrying an 1866 date. The entire print run sold out quickly. Alice was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike. Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde. The book has never been out of print. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into at least 174 languages. There have now been over a hundred English-language editions of the book, as well as countless adaptations in other media, especially theatre and film.
Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" translated into in Georgian by Giorgi Gokieli.
