Alice in Wonderland in Italian and English, Sentence by Sentence
Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole and lands in a world where nothing behaves the way it should. Lewis Carroll's story is full of wordplay, which makes it a good book to read in two languages: you see how a translator solves a joke that should not work in Italian at all.
The Italian text is the translation by Teodorico Pietrocòla-Rossetti, matched to the English original sentence by sentence. His words and sentences are kept. Only the spelling and grammar were brought up to today's rules, so you learn Italian as it is written now.
