Alice in Wonderland in Spanish 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 Spanish at all.
The Spanish text is the 1927 translation by Juan Gutiérrez Gili, 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 Spanish as it is written now.
