Lenny's description:
Nabokov did not just translate Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Russian, but actually transposed it.

For example: in stead of translating the poems, he used old Russian poems and parodied those.

Seller's description:
Brilliant translation of Alice in Wonderland into Russian. Delightful handling of puns, parodies, and language. From rare 1923 edition. 12 illustrations.

Rating: - The Nabokov Russian Translation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in
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.
