Researchers call the prototype of the main character of the fairy tale Alice Pleshens Liddell, with which the writer met in 1856. Carroll, as a friend of the Liddell family, often spent time with the small daughters of the host. Mathematics telling girls fascinating fabulous stories, which invented during walks. It is believed that the fairy tale of a small traveler was recorded at the request of Alice Pleshens in 1862. According to memories in the biography of Young Liddell, the story is invented while walking on the boat.
I compose "Alice", the author escaped the fairy plot of books elements of real life, situations and places, well-known to himself to himself and small listeners, images of common acquaintances, the girls themselves Liddell and himself. The first listeners of fairy tales easily recognized in the heroes and the plot of the plot of familiar people, places and events. For example, a beautiful garden that Alice sees through the little door and in which it cannot get, is a garden with a cathedral separated from the garden at the House of Rector Liddell the door, in which children could not go.
Literary criticians tried to find a lot of meanings in the fairytale texts of Carroll. "Alice in Wonderland" was interpreted as a book full of allusions on English history events. The little son of the Duchess, who turns into a pig, was perceived by the supporters of this approach as Richard III - the English king of the York dynasty, on whose coat of arms is a white boar. And the episode where the queen demands to repaint in red white roses - reference to the war of the scarlet and white rose, which turned between york dynasties and Lancaster.
In the first half of the twentieth century, psychoanalytic interpretations of "Alice" were popular and attempts to put psychiatric diagnoses of characters. In the 60s of the twentieth century "Alice" began to be perceived as a book about the use of "substances", where the heroine is constantly eating or drinking something that causes the next transformation of the Alice itself (eats a mushroom, drinks from a bubble with the inscription "Drink me" and communicates with Crawler with hookah).
The classic translation of "Alice" into Russian was performed by Nina Demurova in 1966 and published in 1979 in the series "Literary monuments". In 1971, Alisa translated Boris Skod, who had Mad Hatter (Mad Hatter, he also turned into a hat, March Hare (March Hare) - in the crazy hare, and Kvazi's turtle - in fish delicacy. In 2018, a new translation of the "Alice" was released in the publishing house "Sumokat", made by the writer Evgeny Klyuev.
The translation of Demurova inspired by Oleg Gerasimov's director, to create audio spectacles, songs and verses to whom Vladimir Vysotsky wrote the "Alice". In 1976, this musical tale of a total duration of 90 minutes came on two plates. Alice voiced two actresses - Galina Ivanov and Clara Rumanova (the latter sings the songs). Artist Xavier Collett and Writer David Shovel created a comic, and rather even a graphic novel "Alice in Wonderland" based on the book of Carroll. Comic was translated into Russian and published by Ripol-Classic publishing house.
