Book Description
Alice in Wonderland / Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie The timeless classic "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll has captivated audiences worldwide for over 100 years. It tells the story of a girl, Alice, who falls into a rabbit hole and enters a strange parallel universe, where nothing is as it seems... This Dual Language Book This version of the story has been accommodated for learners of Italian. We have aligned the original English version of the story side-by-side with the original Italian translation, "Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie" by T. Pietrocola-Rosetti. This book is paragraph aligned. The English version is printed on the left half of the page, and the Italian version on the right half of the page. This will allow you to get the reading practice you need in Italian and quickly get answers when you can't seem to figure out the corresponding word or phrase.. Because the English and Italian text are next to each other, you will save a lot of time and frustration by not having to reach for the dictionary to look up the translation of a word. As a result, you'll have a smoother reading experience. "Alice nel Paese delle Mareviglie" is about 27.000 words long. The story is written out of just 2270 different lemma ́s (a lemma is the dictionary form of a word), making it a great book for beginner to intermediate language learners. To further aid you with learning Italian, we added two Italian to English dictionaries in the back of the book, made specifically for this story. Frequency Dictionary One dictionary is based on word frequency. We analyzed the Italian version and listed all the words by how often they are used. Study the most common words, and see how far you can come without resorting to the translation. You can also find an alphabetical learner ́s dictionary in the back, which is helpful for looking up the meaning of a word rather than relying on how it's translated in context. Alphabetical Dictionary If you encounter a Italian word you don ́t know, and you can't deduce it's meaning through context or require extra clarification, flip towards the back of the book where you can look it up alphabetically. Plus, you may find yourself wondering: What is the correct pronunciation of this word in Italian? That is why we included IPA phonetic transcriptions of Italian words in our alphabetical dictionary. Bilingual Books A tried and tested method, bilingual books, also known as parallel text books or dual language books, have been used to help language learners just like you for hundreds of years. There are several benefits to be gained by reading bilingual books. In short: You will naturally broaden your vocabulary by learning from context. Your overall language skills will improve: you will become a better reader, writer, listener, and speaker. You will be more motivated to read. With the translation nearby, reading foreign text becomes much easier when you don't have to waste time to look up unknown words. You can read anytime, anywhere, and on your own schedule. You can learn a lot from reading books in your target language. You can benefit from a book's message and equally from its language. In other words, a book can improve your way of life and your language learning at the same time. By sitting down and reading, you're going to get yourself farther, faster. Invest in yourself now, and get this book.

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome
Author: Jan Dirk Blom
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030186091
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The book provides the first state-of-the-art overview of Alice in Wonderland syndrome, an enigmatic neurological condition characterised by perceptual distortions (for example, seeing things as being larger or smaller than they actually are; seeing human faces change into animal faces; feeling one’s body growing larger or smaller; experiencing time as slowing down or speeding up; etc.). It describes the clinical presentation of the syndrome, including its huge variety of symptoms and the variability of its natural course. The book starts out with several vivid case vignettes from the author’s clinical practice, and then explains how and why the concept was introduced. In addition, it explains what is currently known about the underlying medical conditions and brain mechanisms, proposes a diagnostic algorithm, and makes recommendations for treatment. Throughout the book, a recurring question is whether or not Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) suffered from the symptoms he described so aptly in his famous children’s book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Accordingly, the book should appeal to anyone interested in the brain and its disorders, as well as readers interested in the life of Lewis Carroll.
