Beschreibung

Englisch Lernen mit klassischen Werken. Die Bücher dieser Reihe eignen sich für Jugendliche und Erwachsene, die mit klassischen Werken ihre Lesefähigkeit verbessern wollen. Englisch Niveaus A2 bis B2. Durchgehend in englischer Sprache. "Alice im Wunderland" ist ein klassischer Roman von Lewis Carroll, erstmals veröffentlicht im Jahr 1865. Diese phantastische Erzählung erzählt die Abenteuer des jungen Mädchens Alice, das einem weißen Kaninchen in ein magisches Untergrundreich folgt. In dieser wundersamen Welt trifft Alice auf eine Vielzahl von unvergesslichen Figuren wie die Grinsekatze, die verrückte Hutmacher, die Märzhase und die tyrannische Herzkönigin. Jede Begegnung stellt Alice vor neue Herausforderungen und Rätsel, die sie mit Witz und oft mit einer Prise gesundem Menschenverstand löst. Eines der markantesten Merkmale des Buches ist seine spielerische Manipulation der Logik, was es zu einem der ersten Beispiele in der literarischen Nonsens-Tradition macht. Die Welt, in die Alice stolpert, ist bizarr und die Regeln der Realität gelten hier nicht. Stattdessen wird Alice mit absurden Gedichten, paradoxen Rätseln und merkwürdigen Gesetzen konfrontiert, die sie und den Leser gleichermaßen amüsieren und verwirren. Das Buch bleibt ein zeitloser Klassiker, der für seine kreativen Wortspiele, seine humorvolle Erzählung und seine Fähigkeit, die Realität auf den Kopf zu stellen, geliebt wird.

Down the rabbit hole

Alice is bored. She is sitting with her sister on the bank of the stream and has nothing to do. She doesn't like her sister's book; it has no pictures. “What use are books without pictures?” Alice thinks.

She considers picking daisies. Suddenly she sees a white rabbit with red eyes running by.

That's not particularly strange. Alice doesn't find it strange either that the rabbit says, “Oh dear, oh dear! I'll be late!” At that moment, this seems normal to her. However, when the rabbit pulls his watch out of his vest pocket and checks the time, Alice becomes curious. She jumps up because she has never seen a rabbit with a vest pocket and a watch before. She runs after it and sees it slip into a large hole under the hedge.

Without thinking, Alice jumps down the hole after it.

The entrance to the rabbit hole is straight at first, like a tunnel, and then suddenly goes down. Before Alice can hold on, she falls into a deep well. She falls very slowly. She has plenty of time to look around as she falls. At first, she tries to look down, but it is too dark. Then she notices that the walls of the well are covered with kitchen cabinets and bookshelves. Here and there, maps and pictures hang on hooks. As she falls, she sees a little pot labelled, “Preserved Oranges” in a cupboard, but it is empty. She doesn't drop it.

She is afraid of hitting someone with it. She manages to push the pot into another cupboard.

Down, down, down she goes. Will she never stop falling? “How far I have fallen,” she says out loud. “I must be about halfway down to the center of the Earth.” Alice had learned this at school.

She continues speaking. “I wonder if I will fall all the way through the Earth? How strange it would be to come out among the people who walk on their heads! But of course, I'll have to ask what country it is. 'Please, dear lady, is this New Zealand or Australia?' But they will think I am a silly little girl for asking! No, I mustn't ask. Perhaps I'll see it written somewhere."

Down, down, down! Alice can't do anything and starts talking again. “Dinah will be looking for me tonight!” Dinah is her cat. “I hope she gets her bowl of milk.”

Alice is getting sleepy and continues talking half in a dream. “Do cats eat sparrows? Do sparrows eat cats?” No one answers. She almost falls asleep. Suddenly she lands on a pile of dry leaves and twigs, and the fall ends.

Alice doesn't hurt herself. She jumps up and looks up, but it's dark. There is a long corridor in front of her, and she sees the white rabbit running. Without hesitation, Alice runs after him and hears him say, “Oh, what time is it?” She turns the corner, but the rabbit has disappeared. She is in a long corridor with lamps on the ceiling.

There are doors on either side of the corridor, but all of them are locked. Alice tries every door, but none of them open. She continues sadly, wondering how she can get out.

Suddenly she sees a small glass table. On it lies a tiny golden key. Alice thinks that it belongs to one of the doors. But the locks are too big or the key too small. It doesn't fit any of the doors. On her second walk, she discovers a small curtain and behind it a small door. She puts the key in the keyhole, and it fits.

Alice opens the door and sees a small passage that looks like a mouse hole. She kneels down and sees a beautiful garden. She desperately wants to go there but can only put her head through. “Even if my head fits,” thinks Alice, “it's no use without my shoulders.”

She goes back to the table, hoping to find another key or a book with instructions. This time she sees a bottle on the table that wasn't there before. On the bottle is a label with the words “DRINK ME!” in large letters.

Alice is cautious. “I'll check to see if there's a skull and crossbones first.” She has read sad stories about kids who didn't heed warnings.

This bottle doesn't have a skull and crossbones, so Alice takes a taste. It tastes good, like a mix of cherry pie, cream sauce, and pineapple. She drinks the whole bottle. “What a strange feeling!” says Alice. “I think I'm getting smaller.”

Alice is now tiny. She is happy because she can now fit through the small door into the beautiful garden. She waits a few minutes to see if she shrinks any more. Alice is a little scared. She wonders if she will disappear altogether, like a candle flame. But she can't remember ever seeing one.

When nothing else happens, Alice decides to go into the garden. But she has forgotten the golden key on the table. She goes back to get it, but it is too high for her. She can see the key through the glass of the table, but she can't reach it. She tries to climb up the table, but she can't do it. Finally, she sits down and begins to cry.

“Hush now! Crying won't help,” says Alice to herself. “I advise you to stop!” Sometimes she gives herself good advice, though she rarely follows it.

Then she sees a small glass box under the table. She opens it and finds a small cake inside with “Eat me!” written on it.

“All right, I'll eat it,” says Alice. “If it makes me bigger, I can reach the key. If it makes me smaller, I can crawl under the door. Either way, I'll get into the garden.”

Alice eats a piece of the cake and wonders curiously, “Am I getting taller or shorter?” She puts her hand on her head to see if she is changing. To her amazement, she remains the same size. Normally, nothing special happens when you eat cake, but Alice is already so accustomed to strange things that it seems strange to her when nothing unusual happens.

Since nothing is happening, she decides to eat the whole cake.

The well of tears

“Curiouser and curiouser!” cries Alice. ‘Now I grow longer and longer! Farewell, feet!’

When she looks down at her feet, she can hardly recognize them. “Oh, my poor feet! Who will put shoes on you now? I'm much too far away! You will have to manage on your own. I will get you new boots for Christmas.”

She thinks about how to do that. “I'll send them by mail,” she thinks. “How funny it will be to send a present to your own feet!” To: Alice's right foot, carpet, not far from the fireplace, (with greetings from Alice).

”Oh, what nonsense I'm talking!"

At that moment she bumps her head on the ceiling. She takes the little golden key and goes to the garden door.

Poor Alice! The best she can do is to see sideways into the garden with one eye. Going through the door is impossible. She sits down and starts crying again.

“You should be ashamed of yourself,” says Alice to herself. “A big girl like that shouldn't cry! Stop it right now!” But she continues to cry until there is a large pool around her.

After a while, Alice hears footsteps in the distance.
