The Nabokov Russian Translation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nabokov Russian Translation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (Paperback)
This is a great reading for anyone who loves Russian classics. It combines the unique Nabokov's style with the wonderful plot of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece. Don't expect to see the exact translation of Carroll's book, rather consider it as a "variation on the theme" of "Alice in Wonderland". Take a book, a cup of tea, spend the time with favourite and funny Carroll's heros in the magic country of Carroll-Nabokov.

Wonderful as Wonderland!,

This review is from: The Nabokov Russian Translation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for everyone who loves Russian language or culture. This is actually written in archaic spelling so you can aprecciate Nabokov's translation at a 100%.
