Lewis Carroll's stories of Alice have entranced children - and grown-ups - for nearly 150 years. And more than one reader, turning the last page of "Through the Looking-Glass", must have been saddened by the thought that her adventures had well and truly come to an end. Not so! Setting himself the daily task of believing "as many as six impossible things before breakfast" (or at least before lunch), Gilbert Adair has written a delightful successor to Carroll's two immortal fantasies. Here, with the aid of Jenny Thorne's Tenniel-inspired illustrations, you will find characters as nonsensical as any ever encountered by Alice. The Siamese-Twin Cats joined at the tail, the kindly old Grampus and its Auto-Biography, the Welsh Rabbit with its toasted cheese and Worcestershire Sauce and many, many, more. And perhaps you too will gradually discover, as Alice does, the mysterious pattern which shapes the destiny of her dream. "Alice Through the Needle's Eye" is both a literary tour de force and an enchantingly funny tail for children of, as they say, all ages.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" estas somera rakonto, unue publikigita de Lewis Carroll (plumnomo de Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) en julio 1865. Multaj el la personoj kaj aventuroj en tiu libro baziĝas sur ludkartaro, ekzemple la malbonhumora Reĝino de Keroj. "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There", alimane, estas vintra rakonto, unue publikigita de Carroll en decembro 1871, en kiu la plejmulto de la personaro kaj aventuroj baziĝas sur ŝakludo. (Du personoj el la unua historio, la Marta Leporo kaj la Ĉapelisto, denove aperas en la dua sub aspekto de mesaĝistoj de la Blanka Reĝo, Haigha kaj Hatta.) En "Through the Looking-Glass" Carroll ankaŭ pli celas al plenaĝaj legantoj ol en sia antaŭa libro, uzante pli da vortludado kaj logikaj paradoksoj. Ĉe la fino de tiu ĉi libro oni ankaŭ trovos la "subpremitan" epizodon "La Vespo en Peruko". Carroll originale intencis ke ĉi tio estu parto de Ĉapitro VIII de "Through the Looking-Glass", sed li forigis ĝin nelonge antaŭ publikigado pro la instigo de John Tenniel, ilustristo de la unuaj eldonoj de ambaŭ verkoj. La Esperanta traduko de "Through the Looking-Glass" de Donald Broadribb estis unue eldonita de Bookleaf Publishing (Beverley, Okcidenta Aŭstralio) en 1996, sub la titolo "Tra la Spegulo kaj kion Alico trovis tie". Ĉi tiu verko de Broadribb restas la sola kompleta Esperanta traduko de "Through the Looking-Glass", kvankam aliuloj estas tradukintaj kelkajn el la unuopaj poemoj en la libro, plej notinde "Jabberwocky", kiu ekzistas en ne malpli ol kvar Esperantaj versioj krom tiu de Broadribb. Ĉi tiuj kvar tradukoj aperas ĉi-volume en apendicoj post "La Vespo en Peruko". -- "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a summer tale, published by Lewis Carroll (pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) for the first time in July 1865. Many of the characters and adventures in that book are based on a pack of playing cards, such as the ill-tempered Queen of Hearts. "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There", on the other hand, is a winter tale, first published by Carroll in December 1871, in which most of the characters and adventures are based on the game of chess. (Two characters from the first tale, the March Hare and the Hatter, reappear in the second in the guise of the White King's messengers, Haigha and Hatta.) "Through the Looking-Glass" is also more a book for adults than than its predecessor, featuring more word-play and logical paradoxes. At the end of the book you will also find the "suppressed" episode "The Wasp in a Wig". This was originally intended to be part of Chapter VIII of "Through the Looking-Glass", but Carroll omitted it shortly before publication at the urging of John Tenniel, who illustrated the first editions of both books. Donald Broadribb's Esperanto translation of "Through the Looking-Glass" was first published by Bookleaf Publishing (Beverley, Western Australia) in 1996, under the title "Tra la Spegulo kaj kion Alico trovis tie". To date Broadribb's work remains the only Esperanto translation of Carroll's sequel, though several of the individual poems in "Through the Looking-Glass" have been translated by others, most notably "Jabberwocky", which exists in no fewer than four Esperanto versions besides Broadribb's. These four translations are presented in this volume as appendices following "The Wasp in a Wig".

Esperanto-English Dictionary: Esperanta-Angla Vortaro (Esperanto Edition)

Esperanto, the most widely-spoken constructed international auxiliary language, was the creation of Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, who first published it in 1887. Today Esperanto is estimated to have between 100,000 and 2,000,000 speakers worldwide. The most complete Esperanto dictionary is the "Plena Ilustrita Vortaro", which is available both online and in printed format; but since the PIV is entirely in Esperanto, the need for a modern Esperanto-to-English dictionary remains keen for many Esperantists. Paul Denisowski's "Esperanto-English Dictionary" can help fill a part of that need, on the basis of its sheer size alone, with more than 52,000 headwords. This extensive dictionary was compiled both from existing glossaries and from glossaries prepared by Denisowski himself, and it contains many words not usually found in smaller dictionaries, including an abundance of scientific terms, especially from the fields of medicine and mathematics. It is hoped that the publication of this dictionary will assist a new generation of Esperanto learners in their enjoyment of this unique language. -- Esperanto, la plej vaste parolata internacia planlingvo, estis la kreaĵo de Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, kiu unue publikigis ĝin en 1887. Hodiaŭ Esperanto laŭtakse havas inter 100.000 ĝis 2.000.000 da parolantoj tutmonde. La plej kompleta Esperanta vortaro estas la "Plena Ilustrita Vortaro", kiu estas disponebla ambaŭ rete kaj en presita formato, sed ĉar la PIV estas tute en Esperanto, la bezono por moderna Esperanta-angla vortaro restas akra por multaj esperantistoj. La "Esperanta-Angla Vortaro" de Paul Denisowski eble helpas plenigi parton de tiu bezono, almenaŭ surbaze de sia grandega amplekso, kun pli ol 52.000 kapvortoj. Ĉi tiu vasta vortaro estis kompilita uzante jam ekzistantajn glosarojn kaj ankaŭ multajn glosarojn, kiujn Denisowksi mem preparis, kaj ĝi enhavas multe da vortoj malofte trovitaj en pli malgrandaj vortaroj, inkluzive de granda nombro da sciencaj terminoj, precipe el la fakoj de medicino kaj matematiko. Oni esperas ke la eldonado de ĉi tiu vortaro helpos novan generacion de Esperantolernantoj en ilia ĝuado de ĉi tiu unika lingvo.

Foreign Language Study & Reference

Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has been translated into over a hundred languages, from French to Japanese to Esperanto. In this translation into the rich dialect of the Appalachian Mountains, the translators have treated the story as a folktale, in order to create the sense that the reader is listening as an adult tells the story to a child. The story has been transported from Victorian English to post-Civil-War West Virginia, into an Appalachian setting appropriate for the dialect. The spelling used aims towards a literary orthography, rather than towards a phonemic respelling of the language entirely, and so it avoids unnecessary "eye-dialect" ("funkshun" instead of "function", and so forth). The sounds of the language used in "Alice's Adventures in an Appalachian Wonderland" will certainly be familiar to most readers, but a short glossary has also been included.

This book is the first translation of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" into Ulster Scots, a language which derives from the Lowlands in Scotland and which was imported into Northern Ireland in the early 17th century. As a dialect of Scots, it is closely related to standard English, but there are many differences in both grammar and vocabulary between the two languages. The orthography used in this book is based on the spellings that are mostly used by native speakers of Ulster Scots.

Some of the local people believe an old legend according to which the dog is not an earthly animal, but rather a supernatural hell-hound which inhabits the area’s lonely dangerous moor and has haunted the Baskervilles for generations. It’s up to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to show what the true nature of the hound is while seeing to it that no harm comes to Sir Henry Baskerville, Sir Charles’ nephew and heir who has come to live in Baskerville Hall and claim his inheritance.    Many commentators consider that “The Hound of the Baskervilles” is the best of the Sherlock Holmes stories and it is certainly one of the best-known detective stories ever written.

<p>Tá Sir Charles Baskerville, mionuasal de chuid Devon Shasana, tar éis bás a fháil gan choinne agus dealraíonn sé gurb é an scanradh a chuir cú ábhalmhór scáfar air a thug a bhás.

Faoi Sherlock Holmes agus an Dochtúir Watson atá sé a thaispeáint cén sórt ainmhí go fírinneach an cú agus féachaint chuige san am céanna nach ndéantar aon díobháil do Sir Henry Baskerville, mac dearthár agus oidhre Sir Charles, atá tagtha chun cónaithe in Halla Baskerville chun a oidhreacht a éileamh. Dar le go leor léirmheastóirí go bhfuil Cú na mBaskerville ar an scéal is fearr de scéalta Sherlock Holmes agus níl aon amhras ach go bhfuil sé ar cheann de na scéalta bleachtaireachta is iomráití dár scríobhadh riamh.

<p>'S e ainm-pinn a th' ann an Lewis Carroll: b' e Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ainm ceart an ùghdair agus bha e na òraidiche le Matamataig ann an Colaiste Chrìosd, an Oilthigh Ath nan Damh.

Mar a tha soilleir san dàn aig toiseach an leabhair, dh'iarr na triùir nigheanan air Dodgson sgeulachd innse dhaibh agus thòisich e, gu h-aindeonach an toiseach, a' chiad dreach den sgeulachd innse dhaibh. Tha tòrr iomraidhean den chòignear aca an leth-fhalach ann am faclan an leabhair fhèin, a chaidh fhoillseachadh mu dheireadh thall ann an 1865.

There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865.   The North-East dialect of Scots, locally called the "Doric", has a long and distinguished history as the medium of one of the liveliest and most individual local literatures in Scotland. It first emerged in literary form during the Vernacular Revival of the eighteenth century; an outstanding practitioner of the mid-nineteenth century was Lewis Carroll's friend George MacDonald, who, though his lasting renown is mainly founded on his children's books and fantasy stories, wrote many domestic novels set wholly or partly in his North-Eastern calf-ground, in which the dialect is skilfully presented.    In translating Alice, Derrick McClure has endeavoured to find some kind of counterpart for every literary and linguistic trick in the original: that is an ambitious aim, but any translation above the level of a mere crib is a tribute to its source, and an original of such ingenuity as this book deserves the highest tribute possible, in a translation which pays full attention to all the clever and delightful tricks with which Carroll adorned his text. It is the author's hope that the translation will be read not simply as a linguistic curiosity or a test case for some of the problems of literary translation, but as a not unworthy addition to the corpus of Doric literature and Scots children's writing.
