Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a novel written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1865.

The story is about a girl named Alice, who falls asleep on a riverbank and then dreams of a fantastical world called Wonderland.

On a warm summer afternoon, Alice is sitting beside her sister on the riverbank, thoroughly bored. Suddenly, before her eyes a white rabbit runs past, wearing a pocket watch on his vest and says that he is going to be late. Alice stands up, totally surprised to see a rabbit wearing a vest, with a watch to boot. She runs after the animal until it disappears into a hole in the ground.

Alice goes down the rabbit hole and arrives in this dreamlike world. There, she encounters characters and events out of all logic and nonsense.

The inhabitants of Wonderland themselves are sometimes hostile to her and criticize her. At times, the magical world becomes for Alice almost a nightmare.

Alice keeps her composure and argues her way through the quarrels the inhabitants of that world pick with her, politely and stubbornly.

The novel has been adapted numerous times into different mediums, including movies, plays, and cartoons. It is also one of the most widely translated books in the world.
