Stefano Meloccaro"Di chi parliamo quando parliamo di tennis"Rizzoli Editorewww.rizzolilibri.itQuesto libro non è un'enciclopedia e meno che mai una classifica di importanza. È piuttosto un quaderno di appunti in ordine sparso: un centinaio di soggetti, forse qualcuno in più, senza i quali la storia di questo sport sarebbe stata diversa. Dentro ci sono campioni e campionesse di ogni epoca, selezionati a insindacabile giudizio dell'autore, trovatosi di fronte a scelte talvolta dolorose. Ci sono anche tennisti e tenniste che non hanno vinto abbastanza e che pure hanno lasciato un segno indelebile. Ci sono gli inventori che hanno cambiato la forma e la sostanza di racchette e palle, da Pierre Babolat a John Boyd Dunlop; ci sono scribi e cronisti che hanno trasformato il racconto in letteratura, come l'indimenticabile coppia Clerici-Tommasi; ci sono artisti – Lewis Carroll, Elton John, David Foster Wallace – e personaggi storici – come Luigi X – che di solito firmano o popolano un altro genere di opere; ci sono i mentori, gli allenatori, i manager, i genitori che hanno costruito carriere e a volte le hanno complicate. Insomma, in “Di chi parliamo quando parliamo di tennis” Stefano Meloccaro, volto storico di Sky Sport e inviato sui campi dei più importanti tornei del circuito, compone una ricca e variegata galleria di persone e fatti che sarebbe meglio conoscere, magari per fare una gran bella figura al bar, o sostenere una conversazione tra commensali che ne sanno davvero. Non è necessario leggere il libro dall'inizio alla fine, anzi, è raccomandato lasciarsi sorprendere dagli accostamenti, perdersi nel racconto delle tante traiettorie umane. Del resto, come scrive l'autore nella sua nota introduttiva, «il tennis stesso si guarda così: si entra, si esce, si torna indietro, si resta incollati a un insignificante quindici pari come se fosse il punto decisivo di una finale».Stefano Meloccaro, in teoria è ancora un giornalista sportivo, su SkySport racconta le gesta di Sinner e compagnia, ma in radio si tramuta in un giocherellone contraltare di Benny. Poliedrico e vagamente tuttologo, ha pure scritto quattro libri, sempre roba di palle gialle che rimbalzano.Divulgatore di sport e buonumore, già partner di Fiorello in Edicola Fiore, Meloccaro non si rassegna. Continua a fare l'eterno giovanotto, ma la sessantina è ormai doppiata. Stefano dà sempre l'impressione di non prendersi troppo sul serio, ma poi finisce per fare tutto (più o meno) come si deve.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

"A Mad Tea Party" — Alice in Wonderland (Chapter 7) | Books at BedtimeDrift off to a deep, peaceful sleep with Chapter 7 of Lewis Carroll's timeless classic, Alice in Wonderland. In tonight's episode of Books at Bedtime, we journey into "A Mad Tea Party". Let the nonsensical, rhythmic banter of the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the sleepy Dormouse lull your busy mind into a state of calm relaxation.

It is Ashe's golden age birthday (47, an even MAGA number) and the ladies open with the most on brand baroque dinosaur and clown birthday card from Archangel Michael, leaf photo challenge submissions that look professionally lit, and a coffee photo challenge fail that Ashe is fully embracing. Ashe then digs into the history of her own birthday: James Madison introducing the Bill of Rights in 1789 (the part she would never let them change), George Orwell's 1984 published in 1949 with a passage about lack of understanding keeping people sane, and the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. Christy takes the professor chair for mad as a hatter, which turns out to come from actual mercury poisoning in seventeenth century French hat makers and not Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Ashe walks through CannCon's research on Smartmatic and how its Venezuelan code lives on inside Dominion and Sequoia, the LA Spencer Pratt election circus, and Trump walking off Kristen Welker's barn set after she demanded evidence the media already knows exists. Cristina from Rise Attire joins to debut The Crystal Veil, her first short film and the start of Dauntless Tales, a stylized AI fantasy series in the spirit of Dark Crystal and Legend, with a Guy Fawkes knight, an allegory for a different psyop in every episode, and a reminder that our kids need to see good guys win.

In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

Met elf bewerkingen van klassieke boeken voor kinderen op haar naam, kun je Tiny Fisscher gerust de koningin van de hertalingen noemen. Ze maakte wereldberoemde verhalen als 'Alleen op de wereld', 'De avonturen van dokter Dolittle' en 'Oliver Twist' toegankelijk voor moderne kinderen. Naar aanleiding van haar nieuwste uitgave, 'Alice tuimelt in Wonderland' (Volt 8+, tekeningen: Jeska Verstegen) praten we met Tiny over haar aanpak bij het bewerken van de klassieker van Lewis Carroll. Waar neem je als bewerker volledige vrijheid, waar moet je dicht bij het oorspronkelijke boek blijven? Hoe ga je om met woordgrappen en ander taalspel? Kun je zomaar een versje van Annie M.G. Schmidt verwerken in een Britse klassieker? En wat te doen met die waterpijp rokende rups? Is dat nog van deze tijd? De keuzes van Tiny Fisscher leverden haar lovende recensies op in onder meer Trouw en NRC Handelsblad. Een overzicht van alle persreacties vind je op Tiny's website. Verwijzingen in deze aflevering Oorspronkelijke tekst Bij Project Gutenberg is de volledige Engelse tekst van 'Alice in Wonderland' te lezen. Jeska Verstegen Met de illustrator van 'Alice tuimelt in Wonderland' spraken we uitgebreid in aflevering 25, over haar schrijfdebuut 'Ik zal je bewaren'.

« Un enfant dans la vraie vie a vu beaucoup plus de diversité que dans les livres. »Pourquoi la littérature jeunesse est-elle un miroir révélateur, et parfois déformant, de nos représentations du monde ? J'ai le plaisir de recevoir Laura Pironnet pour interroger notre rapport aux albums jeunesse, leur influence et surtout notre responsabilité face aux clichés, à la diversité et au plaisir de lire.Professionnelle de l'édition et amoureuse de littérature jeunesse, Laura Pironnet partage depuis plusieurs années ses découvertes et réflexions dans la newsletter “À Voix Haute”. Elle y milite pour une littérature jeunesse plus variée et authentique, défait les idées reçues sur ce secteur et met en avant les enjeux qui le traversent : caricaturisation des enfants, sous-représentation de la diversité, stéréotypes persistants.Dans cet épisode, j'explore avec Laura tout ce que la littérature jeunesse dit de notre société et de la façon dont nous voyons l'enfance. Elle nous explique pourquoi relire ses livres d'enfant à l'âge adulte permet un nouveau regard, et comment accompagner le plaisir de lire, qui disparait souvent à l'adolescence. On évoque aussi l'importance d'offrir aux enfants des ouvrages dans lesquels ils peuvent réellement se reconnaître, ou s'ouvrir à d'autres réalités.Vous découvrirez :✅ Pourquoi la représentation des enfants dans les livres reste si souvent caricaturée (petit garçon “ronchon”, ados renfermés…)✅ Comment les clichés de genre et l'absence de diversité persistent dans l'édition jeunesse✅ L'écueil des livres “trop moralisateurs” et l'importance de lire pour le plaisir✅ Pourquoi il est essentiel de demander à l'enfant ce qu'il comprend et ressent face à une histoire✅ Les bienfaits de la littérature jeunesse pour s'ouvrir aux autres et sur le monde✅ Les classiques incontournables recommandés par Laura PironnetAu programme :(00:49) Pourquoi la littérature jeunesse est-elle si peu valorisée ?(03:29) Les adultes peuvent-ils lire de la littérature jeunesse ?(05:25) La littérature jeunesse, miroir de nos représentations(06:45) Stéréotypes, absence de diversité et responsabilité des éditeurs(10:05) Les contes, leur héritage et comment les aborder aujourd'hui(13:26) Les grands classiques à faire découvrir aux enfants(16:14) Faut-il continuer à lire à voix haute à son enfant qui sait lire ?(17:43) Lecture plaisir vs. lecture devoir : sortir de la case “performance”(23:47) Comment choisir dans la jungle éditoriale(27:31) Loup, sorcière, figure du méchant : questionner les rôles types(30:41) Questionner l'approche pédagogique dans la littérature jeunesseRessources citéesNewsletter À Voix Haute de Laura PironnetAuteurs et livres cités : Roald Dahl (Mathilda, Charlie et la chocolaterie, ....), Claude Ponti (Blaise et le château d'Anne Hiversère), “Devine combien je t'aime” de Sam McBratney, "Alice au pays des merveilles" de Lewis Carroll.Un épisode qui nous invite à renouveler notre regard sur la littérature jeunesse, pour offrir aux enfants (et à nous-mêmes) des histoires qui élargissent nos horizons, suscitent l'envie et ouvrent le dialogue. Bien loin des clichés conservés par habitude.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.tarts 馅饼2.thrones 王座3.trumpet 小号原文Chapter 7: Who Stole the TartsThe King and Queen of Hearts were sitting on their thrones when Alice and the Griffin arrived.There were a great crowd of birds and animals and all the pack of cards.Soldiers stood all around the Knave of Hearts and near the King with the White Rabbit with a trumpet in one hand.In the middle of the room, there was a table with a large plate of tarts on it.“They look good,” thought Alice, who was feeling a little hungry.Then the White Rabbit called out loudly, “Silence, the trial of the Knave of Hearts will now begin.”He took out along piece of paper and read, “The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts all on a summer day. The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts and took them all away.”“Very good,”said the King, “Call the first witness.”Alice looked at the jury, who were now writing everything down.It was a very strange jury.Some of the jurymen were animals and the others were birds.Then the White Rabbit blew his trumpet three times and called out first witness.The first witness was the Hatter, he came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other hand.“I am very sorry, your Majesty,” he said, “I was in the middle of tea when the trial began.”“Take off your hat,” the King said.“It isn't mine,” said the Hatter.“Stolen, write that down,” the King said to the jury.“I keep hats to sell,” explained the Hatter, “I don't have a hat myself. I'm a hatter.”“Give your evidence,” said the King, “or will cut your head off.”The Hatter's face turned white.“I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” He began in a shaking voice.Just then, Alice had a strange feeling.After a minute or two, she understood what it was.“Don't push like that,” said the dormouse who was sitting next to her, “I'm nearly falling off my seat.”“I'm very sorry,” Alice said politely, “I'm getting bigger and taller, you see.”“But you can't do that here,” said the dormouse crossly, and he got up a move to another seat.The Hatter was still giving evidence, but nobody could understand a word of it.The King looked at the Queen, and the Queen looked at the executioner.The unhappy Hatter saw this and dropped his bread and butter.“I'm a poor man, your Majesty,” he said again.“You're a very poor speaker,” said the King.He turned to the White Rabbit, “Call the next witness,” he said.The next witness was the Duchess's cook, who spoke very angrily and said that she would not give any evidence.The King looked worried and told the White Rabbit to call another witness.Alice watched while the White Rabbit looked at the names on his piece of paper.Then to her great surprise, he called out loudly, “Alice.”“Here,” cried Alice, jumping to her feet.“What do you know about these tarts?” said the King.“Nothing,”said Alice.The Queen was looking hard at Alice now.She said, “All people a mile high must leave the room.”“I'm not a mile high,” said Alice, “And I won't leave the room, I want to hear the evidence.”“There is no more evidence,” said the King very quickly, “And now the jury will…”“Your Majesty,”said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry, “We've just found this letter, there's no name on it, but I think the Knave wrote it.”“No, I didn't,”said the Knave loudly.“Read it to us,” said the King.“Where shall I begin? your Majesty,” ask the rabbit.“Begin at the beginning,” said the King, “And go on until you get to the end, then stop.”Everybody listened very carefully, while the White Rabbit read these words.“They tell me,you have been to her and talked of me to him. She thought I was a gardener, but said I could not swim. He tells them that I have not gone. We know that this is true. If she decides to hurry on, what will they do to you? I gave her one,they gave him two. You gave us three or more. They all returned from him to you, but they were mine before.“That's a very important piece of evidence,” said the King.He looked very pleased, “Now, the jury must…”“If anybody in the jury can explain that letter,” said Alice.She was not afraid of anything now, because she was much bigger than everybody in the room.“I'll give him sixpence.”“It's all nonsense, it doesn't mean anything.”The jury busily wrote this down, she thinks it's all nonsense.“All nonsense,eh,” said the King.He read some of the words again.“But said I could not swim. You can't swim, can you?”, he said to the Knave.The Knave's face was sad.“Do I look like a swimmer?” he said, and he didn't, because he was made of paper.The King smiled.“I understand everything now,” he said, “There are the tarts, and here is the Knave of Hearts,and now the jury must decide who the thief is.”“No, no,” said the Queen, “Off with his head, the jury can say what he thinks later.”“What nonsense,” said Alice loudly, “The jury must decide first.You can't…”“Be quiet,”said the Queen, her face turning red.“I won't,”said Alice.“Off with her head,” screamed the Queen.Nobody moved.“It doesn't matter what you say,” said Alice, “You're only a pack of cards.”Then the pack of cards flew up into the sky and began to fall on Alice's face.She gave a little scream and woke up.She was lying next to her sister and under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face.“Wake up,Alice, dear,” said her sister, “You've been asleep a long time.”“Oh, I've had a very curious dream,” said Alice, and she told her sister all about the strange adventures in her wonderful dream.翻译第七章：是谁偷走了馅饼？红心国王和红心王后正坐在他们的王座上，这时爱丽丝和狮鹫兽走了进来。房间里聚集了一大群鸟兽和所有的扑克牌。士兵们站在红心侍从周围，还有国王和拿着喇叭的白兔。房间中央有一张桌子，上面放着一大盘馅饼。“这些看起来不错，”爱丽丝心想，她感到有点饿了。然后白兔大声喊道：“安静，对红心侍从的审判现在开始。”他拿出一张长长的纸条念道：“红心王后，在一个夏日里她做了些馅饼。红心侍从，他偷了那些馅饼并全部拿走了。”“很好，”国王说，“叫第一位证人上台。”爱丽丝看着陪审团，他们正在把所有的事情都记录下来。这是一个非常奇怪的陪审团。有些陪审员是动物，其余的是鸟类。然后白兔吹了三次他的喇叭，然后叫第一位证人上台。第一位证人是帽匠，他手里拿着一个茶杯，另一只手里拿着一片面包和黄油。“非常抱歉，陛下，”他说道，“审判开始的时候我正喝着茶呢。”“摘下你的帽子吧，”国王说道。“那不是我的帽子，”帽匠回答道。“记下来，是偷来的，”国王对陪审团说道。“我收集帽子是为了出售的，”帽匠解释道，“我自己没有帽子。我就是个帽匠。”“请陈述你的证词，”国王说道，“否则我会砍掉你的脑袋。”帽匠的脸色变得煞白。“陛下，我是个穷苦人，”他用颤抖的声音说道。就在这时，爱丽丝有一种奇怪的感觉。过了一两分钟，她明白了那是什么感觉。“别那样推了，”坐在她旁边的一只睡鼠说道，“我快从座位上掉下来了。”“非常抱歉，”爱丽丝礼貌地说道，“您瞧，我正在长大和变高呢。”“但你不能在这里这么做，”那只睡鼠生气地说道，并起身走向另一个座位。帽匠仍在陈述证词，但没人能听懂他说的话。国王看向王后，王后看向刽子手。那个不开心的帽匠看到这一幕，把他的面包和黄油掉在地上。“陛下，我是个穷苦人，”他又说道。“你是个非常糟糕的演说者，”国王说道。他转向白兔说道：“叫下一个证人来。”下一个证人是公爵夫人的厨师，他非常生气地说道，说自己不会提供任何证词。国王显得很担忧，于是让白兔叫另一位证人。爱丽丝看着这一切，只见白兔看着他那张纸上的名字。然后令她大为惊讶的是，他大声喊道：“爱丽丝。”“在这儿呢，”爱丽丝跳起身说道。“这些馅饼有什么可说的？”国王问道。“没什么，”爱丽丝回答道。女王此时正紧紧地盯着爱丽丝。她说：“所有身高达到一英里的人都必须离开房间。”“我不是一英里高，”爱丽丝说道，“而且我不会离开房间，我想听听证词。”“没有更多的证词了，”国王很快说道，“现在陪审团……”“陛下，”白兔急忙跳起来说道，“我们刚刚找到了这封信，上面没有名字，但我认为是侍从写的。”“不，我没有写，”侍从大声说道。“读给我们听听吧，”国王说道。“我从哪里开始读呢，陛下？”兔子问道。“从开头读起，”国王说道，“一直读到结尾，然后停下来。”所有人都聚精会神地听着，而白兔则念着这些话。“他们告诉我，你曾去见过她，并向他提及了我。她以为我是园丁，但说我不会游泳。他告诉他们我没有离开。我们知道这是真的。如果她决定加快行程，他们会对你做什么呢？我给了她一枚金币，他们给了那个小偷两枚。而你们给了我们三枚或更多。它们都从那个小偷那里传到了你们这里，但它们原本都是我的。“这是一条非常重要的证据，”国王说道。他看起来非常高兴，“现在，陪审团必须……”“如果陪审团中有谁能解释那封信的话，”爱丽丝说道。她现在什么都不怕了，因为她比房间里的所有人都要高大得多。“我给他六便士。”“全是胡说八道，毫无意义。”陪审团忙着把这些记录下来，她觉得全是胡说八道。“全是胡说吗？”国王说道。他又读了其中一些话。“但他说我不会游泳。你会游泳吗？”他对侍从说道。侍从的脸很悲伤。“我看起来像游泳者吗？”他说道，而他不是，因为他是由纸做的。国王笑了。“现在我全都明白了，”他说道，“这里有馅饼，还有红心侍从，现在陪审团得决定谁是小偷。”“不，不，”王后说道，“砍掉他的脑袋吧，陪审团之后再发表意见如何？”“胡说八道，”爱丽丝大声说道，“陪审团必须先做出决定。你不能……”“安静点，”王后说道，她的脸涨得通红。“我不听，”爱丽丝说道。“砍掉她的头！”女王怒吼道。所有人都一动不动。“不管你说什么都没用，”爱丽丝说道，“你不过是一副纸牌罢了。”随后那副纸牌飞向天空，接着开始落在爱丽丝的脸上。她轻声尖叫了一声，然后就醒了。她正躺在姐姐身边，身处树林之下，还有一些树叶落在她的脸上。“醒醒，爱丽丝，亲爱的，”姐姐说道，“你已经睡了很久了。”“哦，我做了一个非常奇怪的梦，”爱丽丝说道，并向姐姐讲述了她那奇妙梦中那些奇异的冒险经历。

Your Majesty,” said Alice very politely.But she thought to herself, “They're only a pack of cards. I don't need to be afraid of them.”“And who are these?” said the Queen, looking at the three gardeners.Then she saw the white roses, and her face turned red and angry.“Off with their heads,” she shouted, and soldiers hurried up to take the gardeners away.The Queen turned to Alice.“Can you play croquet?” She shouted.“Yes,” shouted Alice.“Come on,”then shouted the Queen.The crowd began to move on, and Alice went with them.“It's a very fine day,” said a worried voice in her ear.Alice saw that the White Rabbit was by her side.“Very fine,”said Alice.“Where's the Duchess?”Said the rabbit in a hurried voice.“She's in prison, waiting for execution.”“What for?”said Alice.But just then the Queen shouted, “Get two places, and the game began.”It was the strangest game of croquet in Alice's life.The balls were hedgehogs and the mallets were flamingos, and the hoops were made by soldiers who turned over and stood on their hands and feet.Alice held her flamingo's body under her arm, but the flamingo turned its long neck first this way and then that way.At last, Alice was ready to hit the ball with the flamingo's head, but by then the hedgehog was tired of waiting and was walking away across the croquet ground.And when both the flamingo and the hedgehog were ready, there was no hoop.The soldiers,too, were always getting up and walking away.“It really was a very difficult game,” Alice thought.The players all played at the same time, and they were always arguing and fighting for hedgehogs.Nobody could agree about anything.Very soon, the Queen was wildly angry and went around shouting “off with his head” or “off with her head” about once a minute.Alice began to feel worried.“The Queen is sure to argue with me soon,” she thought, “And what will happen to me then?They're cutting people's heads off all the time here. I'm surprised there is anyone left alive.”Just then she saw something very strange, she watched carefully.And after a minute or two, she saw that the thing was a grin.“It's the Cheshire Cat,” she said to herself, “Now I'll have somebody to talk to.”“How are you getting on,” said the cat.When its mouth appeared, Alice waited.“I can't talk to something without ears,” she thought.Slowly, the cat's eyes, then its ears, and then the rest of its head appeared.But it stopped at the neck, and its body did not appear.Alice began to tell the cat all about the game.“It's very difficult to play,” she said. “Everybody argues all the time, and the hooks and the hedgehogs walk away.”“How do you like the Queen,” said the cat quietly.“I don't,”said Alice. “She's very——just.” Then she saw the Queen behind her, so she went on clever, she's the best player here.The Queen smiled and walked past.“Who are you talking to,” said the King.He came up behind Alice and looked at the cat's head in surprise.“It's a friend of mine, a Cheshire cat,” said Alice.“I'm not sure that I like it,” said the King, “But it can touch my hand if it likes.”“I prefer not to,” said the cat.“Well,” said the King angrily.He called out to the Queen, “My dear, there's a cat here, and I don't like it.”The Queen did not look round off with its head, she shouted, “Call for the executioner.”Alice was a little worried for her friend, but when the executioner arrived, everybody began to argue.“I can't cut off a head,” said the executioner, “If there isn't a body cut it off from.”“You can cut the head off,” said the King, “From anything that's got a head.”“If somebody doesn't do something quickly,” said the Queen, “I'll catch everybody's head off.”Nobody liked that plan very much, so they all turned to Alice.“And what do you say?” they cried.“The cat belongs to the Duchess,” said Alice carefully, “Perhaps you could ask her about it.”“She's in prison,” the Queen said to the executioner, “Bring her here at once.”But then the cat's head slowly began to vanish, and when the executioner came back with the Duchess,there was nothing there.The King ran wildly up and down looking for the cat, and the Duchess put her arm round Alice.“I'm so pleased to see you again, my dear,” she said.“Let's get on with the game,” the Queen said angrily, and Alice followed her back to the croquet ground.The game went on, but all the time, the Queen was arguing and shouting “off with his head” or “off with her head”.Soon there were no hoops left, because the soldiers who were the hoops were too busy taking everybody to prison.And at the end,there were only three players left, the King, the Queen and Alice.The Queen stopped shouting and said to Alice, “Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?”“No,” said Alice, “I'm not sure what a Mock Turtle is.”“Then come with me,” said the Queen, “They found the mock turtle down by the sea. Next to him was a Griffin, asleep in the sun.”Then the Queen hurried away, saying “I have to get on with some executions.”The Griffin woke up and said sleepily to Alice, “It's just talk, you know?They never execute anybody.”Alice was pleased to hear this.She felt a little afraid of the Griffin and the Mock Turtle because they were so large, but they were very friendly and sang songs and told her many stories about their lives.The Mock Turtle was in the middle of a very sad song, when they all heard a shout a long way away, “It's beginning.”“Come on, we must hurry,” said the Griffin.It took Alice by the hand and began to run.翻译第六章：女王的槌球游戏在门边有一棵玫瑰树，还有三个园丁正忧心忡忡地看着那些玫瑰。“怎么了？”爱丽丝对他们说道。“你看，小姐，”第一个园丁说道，“这些玫瑰是白色的，但是女王只喜欢红色的玫瑰，而且她……”“女王，”第二个园丁说道。突然，三个人一下子趴到了地上。爱丽丝转过身，看到了一大群人。那是几副扑克牌在花园里走着，他们是梅花花色。他们是士兵和方块花色。还有十个小孩子，他们是红桃花色。接着是几位国王和几位王后。然后爱丽丝看到了那只白兔，后面跟着的是红桃侍从，最后是王后、国王和红桃王后。当人群靠近爱丽丝时，他们都停了下来，看着她。然后女王说道：“你是谁？”“我的名字是爱丽丝，陛下，”爱丽丝非常有礼貌地说道。但她心里想着：“他们只是几副牌而已。我不需要害怕他们。”“这些是谁？”女王看着那三个园丁问道。然后她看到了那些白玫瑰，她的脸变得通红且愤怒起来。“砍掉他们的脑袋吧！”她大喊道，随后士兵们迅速上前将园丁们带走。女王转向爱丽丝。“你会打槌球吗？”她喊道。“会的。”爱丽丝喊道。“来吧。”女王喊道。人群开始散去，爱丽丝也跟着他们走了。“今天天气真好。”她耳边传来一个担忧的声音。爱丽丝看到白兔就在她身旁。“真好。”爱丽丝说道。“公爵夫人在哪里？”兔子急切地问道。“她在监狱里，等待处决。”“为什么？”爱丽丝问道。但就在这时，女王喊道：“准备两个场地，游戏开始了。”这是爱丽丝一生中见过的最奇怪的槌球比赛。球是刺猬，球棒是火烈鸟，球圈则是由士兵们翻转过来并手脚着地做成的。爱丽丝把火烈鸟的身体夹在胳膊下，但火烈鸟先是把长长的脖子朝这边转，然后又朝那边转。最后，爱丽丝准备用火烈鸟的头去击球，但这时刺猬已经厌倦了等待，正穿过槌球场走开去了。而当火烈鸟和刺猬都准备好后，却没有球圈了，士兵们也总是起身离开。“这确实是一场非常艰难的比赛。”爱丽丝心想。所有选手同时进行比赛，他们总是争吵和争夺刺猬。没有人能达成一致意见。很快，女王变得非常愤怒，每隔一分钟就会大声喊叫“砍掉他的头”或者“砍掉她的头”。爱丽丝开始感到担忧。“女王很快肯定会和我争论起来，”她想，“那我将会怎么样呢？这里一直都在砍人的脑袋。我很惊讶居然还有人活着。”就在那时，她看到了一些非常奇怪的东西，她仔细观察着。过了一两分钟，她看到那东西竟然是一个笑容。“这是柴郡猫，”她自言自语道，“现在我终于有可以交谈的人了。”“你好吗？”猫说道。当它的嘴巴出现时，爱丽丝等待着。“没有耳朵的东西，我无法与之交谈，”她想。慢慢地，猫的眼睛、然后是它的耳朵，接着是它的整个头部都出现了。但它的脖子处停了下来，它的身体没有出现。爱丽丝开始向猫讲述比赛的情况。“比赛非常艰难，”她说。“每个人都在不停地争论，而那些球圈和刺猬们则离开了。”“你觉得女王怎么样？”那只猫轻声问道。“我不...，”爱丽丝回答道，“她……非常公正。”她看到女王在她身后，于是她继续说道，聪明的家伙，她是这里最出色的辩手。女王微笑着走过去了。“你在和谁说话？”国王问道。他走到爱丽丝身后，惊讶地看着猫的脑袋。“这是我的一个朋友，一只柴郡猫，”爱丽丝说。“我不确定我喜欢它，”国王说，“但要是它愿意，它可以触碰我的手。”“我不愿意，”猫说道。“好吧，”国王生气地说道。他对着女王喊道，“亲爱的，这里有一只猫，我不喜欢它。”女王没有转过头去看它的脑袋，她大喊道，“叫刽子手来。”爱丽丝为她的朋友感到有些担心，但当刽子手到来时，所有人都开始争论起来。“我不能砍掉一个脑袋，”刽子手说，“如果没有身体，就无法将其砍下。”“你可以把脑袋砍下来，”国王说，“任何有脑袋的东西都可以。”“要是有人不尽快采取行动的话，”女王说，“我会把大家的脑袋都摘下来。”没有人喜欢这个计划，于是他们都转向了爱丽丝。“那你怎么说？”他们大声问道。“这只猫是公爵夫人养的，”爱丽丝小心翼翼地说道，“或许你们可以问问她这件事。”“她在监狱里，”女王对刽子手说，“马上把她带来。”但随后，那只猫的脑袋开始慢慢消失，当刽子手带着公爵夫人回来时，那里什么都没有了。国王疯狂地跑来跑去寻找那只猫，而公爵夫人则搂住了爱丽丝。“很高兴再次见到你，亲爱的，”她说。“咱们继续游戏吧，”王后生气地说，然后爱丽丝跟着她回到了槌球场地。游戏继续进行着，但整个过程中，王后一直在争吵并喊着“砍掉他的头”或者“砍掉她的头”。很快，所有的球圈都不见了，因为那些充当球圈的士兵们忙着把所有人送进监狱。最后，只剩下国王、王后和爱丽丝三个人了。王后停止了喊叫，对爱丽丝说：“你见过假海龟吗？”“没有，”爱丽丝说，“我不太清楚假海龟是什么。”“那跟我来吧，”王后说，“他们在海边找到了假海龟。它旁边是一只狮鹫，正躺在阳光下睡着呢。”然后王后匆匆离去，说：“我得继续执行一些死刑了。”狮鹫醒来后，睡眼惺忪地对爱丽丝说：“这只是说说而已，你知道吗？他们从不处决任何人。”爱丽丝听到这话很高兴。她对狮鹫和假海龟有些害怕，因为它们体型庞大，但它们非常友好，还为她唱起了歌，并给她讲述了关于它们生活的许多故事。假海龟正在唱着一首非常悲伤的歌，这时他们突然听到远处传来一声喊叫：“开始了。”“快点，我们得赶紧了。”格里芬说道。爱丽丝被狮鹫拉住手，便开始奔跑起来。

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 15: Ein Hubschrauber schwebt über dem Park, Scotty taucht halb aus dem Nichts auf, Gillian Taylor rennt gegen ein getarntes Raumschiff – und schreit sich anschließend einfach durch den Beamvorgang hindurch. Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov. Also über genau die Dinge, die man von einem entspannten Star-Trek-Abend erwartet. #StarTrek #StarTrekIV #TheVoyageHome #DiscoveryPanel #Kirk #Spock #Scotty #GillianTaylor #Chekov #Sulu #Uhura #ILM #DonPeterman #Beamen #Transporter #Buckelwale #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco #StarTrekPodcast

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.Hatter 帽匠2.dormouse 睡鼠原文Chapter 5: A Mad Tea PartyThere was a table under a tree outside the house, and the March hare and the Hatter were having tea.A dormouse was sitting between them, asleep.The three of them were all sitting together at one corner of the table, but the table was large and there were many other seats.Alice sat down in a big chair at one end.“Have some coffee,” the March Hare said in a friendly voice.Alice looked all round the table, but she could only see a teapot.“I don't see any coffee,” she said.“There isn't any,” said the March Hare.“Then why did you ask me to have some,” said Alice crossly, “It wasn't very polite of you.”“It wasn't very polite of you to sit down. We haven't invited you to tea,” said the March Hare.“But there are lots of seats,” said Alice.“Your hair's too long,” said the Hatter, looking at Alice with interest.“It's not polite to say things like that,” said Alice.The Hatter looked surprised, but he said, “Why is a bird like a desk?”Alice was pleased.She enjoyed playing word games, so she said, “That's an easy question.”“Do you mean you know the answer,” said the March Hare.“Yes,” said Alice.“Then you must say what you mean,” the March Hare said.“I do,” Alice said quickly, “Well, I mean what I say and that's the same thing, you know?”“No, it isn't,” said the Hatter, “Listen to this. I see what I eat means one thing, but I eat what I see means something very different.”Alice did not know what to say to this, so she took some tea and some bread and butter, while she thought about it.The dormouse woke up for a minute and then went to sleep again.After a while,the Hatter took out his watch, shook it, then looked at it sadly.“Two days slow,I told you that butter wasn't good for watches,” he said angrily to the March Hare.“It was the best butter,” said the March Hare sadly.Alice was looking at the watch with interest.“It's a strange watch,” she said, “it shows the day of the week, but not the time.”“But we know the time,” said the Hatter, “It's always 6 o'clock here.”Alice suddenly understood.“Is that why there are all these cups and plates?” She said, “It's always tea time here, and you go on moving round the table, is that right? But what happens when you come to the beginning again?”“Don't ask questions,” said the March Hare crossly, “You must tell us a story now.”“But I don't know any stories,” said Alice.Then the March Hare and the Hatter turn to the dormouse.“Wake up,dormouse,” they shouted loudly in its ears, “Tell us a story.” “Yes, please do,” said Alice.The dormouse woke up and quickly began to tell a story.But a few minutes later, it was asleep again.The March Hare poured a little hot tea on its nose and the Hatter began to look for a clean plate.Alice decided to leave and walked away into the wood.She looked back once and the March Hare and the Hatter were trying to put the dormouse into the teapot.“Well, I won't go there again,” said Alice, “What a stupid tea party it was.”Just then she saw a door in one of the trees.“How curious,” she thought, “But everything is strange today. I think I'll go in.”So she went in, and there she was back in the long room with the little glass table.At once she picked up the gold key from the table, unlocked the little door into the garden, and then began to eat a piece of mushroom.When she was down to about 30 centimeters high, she walked through the door, and then at last she was in the beautiful garden with its green trees and bright flowers.翻译第五章：疯狂的茶会房子外面的一棵树下有一张桌子，三月兔和帽匠正在那里喝茶。一只睡鼠坐在他们中间，正酣睡着。他们三个人都坐在桌子的一角，但桌子很大，还有很多其他的座位。爱丽丝在桌子的一端坐进了一把大椅子上。“来点咖啡吧，”三月兔用友好的声音说道。爱丽丝环顾了一下桌子，但她只看到一个茶壶。“我看不到任何咖啡，”她说。“没有啊，”三月兔说道。“那你为什么让我来喝呢，”爱丽丝生气地说，“你这样不太礼貌。”“你不应该坐下来的。我们没有邀请你来喝茶，”三月兔说道。“但有很多座位啊，”爱丽丝说。“你的头发太长了，”帽匠饶有兴趣地看着爱丽丝说道。“说这种话不太礼貌，”爱丽丝说。帽匠看起来很惊讶，但他说：“为什么一只鸟像一张桌子呢？”爱丽丝很高兴。她喜欢玩文字游戏，所以她说：“这是个简单的问题。”“你是说你知道答案吗，”三月兔说道。“是的，”爱丽丝说。“那你必须说出你的意思，”三月兔说。“是的，”爱丽丝迅速说道，“嗯，我所说的就是我所想的，这意思是一样的，你知道吧？”“不，不是这样的，”帽匠说道，“听我说。我看的东西意味着一件事，但我吃的东西意味着完全不同的另一件事。”爱丽丝对此不知如何回答，于是她拿了一些茶和面包黄油，一边思考着，一边继续坐着。睡鼠醒了一会儿，然后又睡去了。过了一会儿，帽匠拿出他的手表，摇了摇，然后悲伤地看了看。“慢了两天，我跟你说过黄油不适合用在钟表上，”他生气地对三月兔说道。“那是最好的黄油啊，”三月兔悲伤地说道。爱丽丝饶有兴趣地看着那块手表。“这是一块奇怪的手表，”她说，“它能显示一周中的日期，但不显示时间。”“但我们知道时间的，”帽匠说道，“这里总是六点钟。”爱丽丝突然明白了。“这就是为什么这里有这么多杯子和盘子？”她说，“这里总是茶点时间，而你们一直在围着桌子转，对吧？但当你再次回到开头的时候会怎样呢？”“别问问题了，”三月兔粗暴地说道，“你现在必须给我们讲个故事。”“但我没有故事可讲，”爱丽丝说道。然后，三月兔和帽匠转向睡鼠。“醒醒，睡鼠，”他们大声对着它喊道，“给我们讲个故事吧。”“好呀，快讲吧。”爱丽丝说道。睡鼠醒了过来，很快就开始讲故事。但几分钟后，它又睡着了。三月兔往它鼻子上倒了一点热茶，帽匠则开始寻找一个干净的盘子。爱丽丝决定离开，走进森林里去了。她回头望了一眼，只见三月兔和帽匠正试图把睡鼠放进茶壶里。“算了，我不会再去了，”爱丽丝说道，“这场茶会真是太愚蠢了。”就在这时，她看到一棵树上有一扇门。“真奇怪，”她心想，“但今天一切都很奇怪。我想我还是要进去看看。”于是她走了进去，回到了那间长长的房间里，还有那个小玻璃桌子。她立刻从桌子上拿起金钥匙，打开了通往花园的小门，然后开始吃了一片蘑菇。当她缩到大约 30 厘米高时，她穿过那扇门，最后终于来到了那个美丽的花园里，那里有绿树和鲜艳的花朵。

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.grinning 咧着嘴笑2.croquet 槌球3.vanished 消失4.hare 野兔原文Chapter 4: The Cheshire CatThere was a boy outside the door with a large letter in his hand.“He was dressed like a boy, but his face was very like a fish,” Alice thought.The fish boy knocked at the door.And a second later, a large plate came flying out of an open window.“A lot for the Duchess,” the fish boy shouted.He pushed the letter under the door and went away.Alice went up to the door and knocked, but there was a lot of noise inside and nobody answered.So she opened the door and walked in.She found herself in a kitchen which was full of smoke.There was a very angry cook by the fire, and in the middle of the room sat the Duchess,holding a screaming baby.Every few minutes, a plate crashed to the floor.There was also a large cat, which was sitting on a chair and grinning from ear to ear.“Please,”Alice said politely to the Duchess, “Why does your cat grin like that?”“It's a treasure cat,” said the Duchess, “That's why.”“I didn't know that cats could grin,” said Alice.“Well, you don't know much,” said the Duchess.Another plate crashed to the floor and Alice jumped.“Here,” the Duchess went on, “You can hold the baby for a bit if you like. The Queen has invited me to play croquet, and I must go and get ready.”She pushed the baby into Alice's arms and hurried out of the room.“Oh, the poor little thing,” said Alice, looking at the baby, which had a very strange face.She took it outside into the wood and walked around under the trees.Then the baby began to make strange noises and Alice looked into its face again.Its eyes were really very small for a baby, and its nose now looked very like the nose of a pig.“Don't make noises like that, my dear,” said Alice, “It's not polite. You're beginning to sound like a pig.”But a few minutes later, there was no mistake, it was a pig.Alice put it carefully on the ground and it ran quietly away on its forelegs into the woods.“I'm pleased about that,” Alice said to herself, “It will be a good-looking pig, but it would be terrible to be a child with a face like that.”She was thinking about pigs and children when she suddenly saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree.The cat grinned her and she went nearer to it.“Please,” she said, “Can you tell me which way to go from here?”“But where do you want to get to?” said the cat.“It doesn't really matter,” began Alice.“Then it doesn't matter which way you go,” said the cat.“But I would like to get somewhere,” Alice explained.“If you'll just go on walking,” said the cat, “In the end, you'll arrive somewhere.”“That was true,” thought Alice, “But not very helpful.”So she tried another question, “What kind of people live near here?”“To the left,”the cat said, “Lives a Hatter Hatter. And to the right lives a March Hare. You can visit either of them. They're both mad.”“But I don't want to visit mad people,” said Alice.“We're all mad here, you know,” said the cat. “I'm mad, you're mad.” “How do you know that—— I'm mad?” said Alice. “Of course,you're mad,” said the cat, “Only mad people come here.”Alice was thinking about this, but the cat went on, “Are you playing croquet with the Queen today?”“I would like to very much,” said Alice, “But nobody has invited me yet.”“You'll see met here,” said the cat, and vanished.Alice was not really surprised at this, because so many strange things were happening today.She was still looking at the tree, when suddenly the cat appeared again.“I forgot to ask,” said the cat, “What's happened to the baby?”“It turned into a pig,” Alice said.“I'm not surprised,” said the cat, and vanished again.Alice began to walk on and decided to visit the March Hare.“It's the month of May now,” she said to herself, “So perhaps the hare won't be as mad a she was in March.”Suddenly,there was the Cheshire Cat again, sitting in another tree.Alice jumped in surprise.“Do you think,”she said politely, “That you could come and go more slowly?”“All right,”said the cat, and this time it vanished very slowly.First its tail went, then its body, then its head, and last the grin.“Well, I've often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice, “But never a grin without a cat.”Soon she saw the house of the March Hare in front of her.It was a large house, so she ate a little piece of mushroom to get bigger and walked on.翻译第四章：柴郡猫门外站着一个男孩，手里拿着一封信。“他穿着像个男孩的样子，但他的脸却像条鱼。”爱丽丝心想。这个鱼模样的男孩敲了敲门。片刻之后，一个大盘子从敞开的窗户里飞了出来。“给公爵夫人准备了很多吃的呢。”鱼模样的男孩喊道。他把信放在门下，然后离开了。爱丽丝走到门前敲了敲，但里面传来很大的声响，没人应答。于是她打开了门走了进去。她发现自己置身于一个弥漫着烟雾的厨房里。炉火旁站着一位非常生气的厨师，房间中央坐着公爵夫人，怀里抱着一个哭闹的婴儿。每隔几分钟，就会有一个盘子掉到地上。还有一个大猫，正坐在椅子上咧着嘴笑个不停。“请原谅，”爱丽丝礼貌地对公爵夫人说，“您的猫为什么这样咧嘴笑呢？”“它是只宝猫，”公爵夫人说，“这就是原因。”“我不知道猫还能咧嘴笑呢。”爱丽丝说。“嗯，你懂得的东西不多嘛。”公爵夫人说。又是一个盘子掉到地上，爱丽丝跳了起来。“来吧，”公爵夫人接着说，“如果你愿意的话，可以抱一下这个婴儿。女王邀请我去打槌球，我得赶紧去准备一下。”她把婴儿推到爱丽丝的怀里，然后匆匆离开了房间。“哦，这可怜的小家伙，”爱丽丝看着这个婴儿说道，只见它的脸长得十分奇怪。她把它带到树林里，然后在树下绕着走。接着，婴儿开始发出奇怪的声音，爱丽丝又看了看它的脸。对于一个婴儿来说，它的眼睛确实很小，而它的鼻子现在看起来像一头猪的鼻子。“别发出那样的声音，亲爱的，”爱丽丝说道，“这不礼貌。你听起来越来越像一头猪了。”但几分钟后，毫无疑问，这是一头猪。爱丽丝小心翼翼地把它放在地上，它用前腿安静地跑进了树林里。“这让我很高兴，”爱丽丝自言自语道，“它会是一头好看的猪，但长着这样的脸做孩子的可就太可怕了。”她正在想着猪和孩子的事，突然看到柴郡猫在树上。猫对她喵喵叫着，她走近了些。“请告诉我，从这里往哪儿走？”她说道。“你想去哪儿？”猫说道。“其实无所谓，”爱丽丝开始说道。“那么，你走哪条路都没关系了。”猫说道。“但我还是想去某个地方。”爱丽丝解释道。“如果你继续往前走的话，”猫说，“最终你总会到达某个地方的。”“这倒是没错，”爱丽丝心想，“但没什么实际用处。”于是她又提出了另一个问题：“这里附近住着什么样的人呢？”“往左走，”猫说，“生活着一个帽匠。往右走的是一只三月兔。你可以去拜访他们中的任何一个。他们俩都疯了。”“但我不想去见疯子，”爱丽丝说。“我们这里所有人都疯了，你知道的，”猫说。“我是疯的，你是疯的。”“你怎么知道——我是疯的？”爱丽丝问道。“当然，你是疯的，”猫说，“只有疯子才会来到这里。”爱丽丝正在思考这个问题，但猫继续说道：“你今天和女王一起玩槌球吗？”“我非常想啊，”爱丽丝说，“但还没有人邀请我呢。”“你会在那里见到我的，”猫说，然后消失了。爱丽丝对此并不感到惊讶，因为今天发生的事情实在是太奇怪了。她仍然盯着那棵树，这时猫又出现了。“我忘了问了，”猫说，“那个婴儿怎么样了？”“它变成了一头猪。”爱丽丝说。“我并不感到惊讶，”那只猫说道，然后又消失了。爱丽丝继续往前走，决定去拜访三月兔。“现在是五月了，”她自言自语道，“所以也许那只兔子不会像三月份时那样疯狂了。”突然，那只柴郡猫又出现了，坐在另一棵树上。爱丽丝惊讶地跳了起来。“你觉得，”她礼貌地说道，“你能不能来得慢一些？”“行啊，”那只猫说道，这一次它消失的速度非常缓慢。先是尾巴消失，接着是身体，然后是脑袋，最后是那张笑脸。“嗯，我以前见过没有笑脸的猫，”爱丽丝心想，“但没见过没有猫的笑脸。”很快，她就看到了三月兔的房子在她面前。那是一座大房子，于是她吃了一小片蘑菇让自己变大，然后继续前行。

In her highly acclaimed debut, distinguished cosmologist and particle physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared with her audience an abiding sense of wonder at the cosmos, while imagining a world without the entrenched injustice that plagues her field. Now, in The Edge of Space-Time, she embraces that cosmic wonder, taking readers on a mind-altering journey to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time and about ourselves.Guided by her conviction that for humanity to go forward we must know our cosmic past, and drawing on poetry and popular culture—from Langston Hughes, Queen Latifah, and Lewis Carroll, to Big K.R.I.T., Sun Ra, and Star Trek—Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics to tell fascinating stories about the history and fundamental nature of our universe. Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes, and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity, following our guide out to the far reaches of the cosmic event horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. Along the way, she calls on us to resist colonial approaches to space exploration and instead imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity's undeniable connection with the stars.Through Prescod-Weinstein's clear-eyed and unique perspective, and informed by her deep knowledge of postcolonial history and Black feminist thought, The Edge of Space-Timeargues that physics is an essential way for everyone to look at the universe and presents a compelling case that “the edge” is a powerful vantage point from which to see the big picture.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/schillacenews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclu

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.caterpillar 毛虫2.pipe 烟斗3.crossly 生气地原文Chapter 3: Conversation With a CaterpillarNow, Alice said to herself, “First, I must get a little bigger. And second, I must find my way into that beautiful garden. I think that will be the best plan, but oh dear, how shall I get bigger? Perhaps I must eat or drink something, But the question is what?”Alice looked all around her at the flowers and the trees, but she could not see anything to eat.Then she saw a large mushroom near her.It was as tall as she was.She walked across to look at it, and there on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar smoking a pipe.After a while,the caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow sleepy voice, “Who are you?”“I don't really know, sir,” said Alice, “I know who I was when I got up this morning,but I have changed so often since then. I think I am a different person now.”“What do you mean by that?” said the caterpillar, “Explain yourself.”“I can't explain myself, sir,” said Alice, “Because I'm not myself, you know.”“I don't know,”said the caterpillar.“It's difficult to describe,” Alice replied politely, “One minute, I'm very small;the next minute, I'm as tall as a house; then I'm small again. Usually I stay the same all day, and changing so often feels very strange to me.”“You said,”the caterpillar in a very unfriendly voice, “Who are you?”They were now back at the beginning of their conversation, which was not very helpful.Alice felt a little cross and decided to walk away.“Come back,” the caterpillar called after her, “I've something important to say.”This sounded better, so Alice turned back.“Never get angry,” said the caterpillar.“Is that all?” said Alice, “Trying not to be angry?”“No,” said the caterpillar.For some minutes, it smoked its pipe and did not speak.But at last,it took the pipe out of its mouth and said, “So you've changed, have you? How tall do you want to be?”“I would like to be a little larger, sir. Please!” said Alice, “8 centimeters is really very small.”For a while,the caterpillar smoked its pipe.Then it shook itself, got down off the mushroom, and moved slowly away into the grass.It did not look back at Alice, but said, “One side will make you taller and the other side we'll make you shorter.”“One side of what?” thought Alice to herself.She did not say this aloud, but the caterpillar said of the mushroom.Then, it moved away into the wood.Alice looked at the mushroom carefully, but it was round and did not have sides. At last, she broke off a piece in each hand from opposite sides of the mushroom.She ate some of the piece in her left hand and waited to see what would happen.A minute later,her head was as high as the tallest tree in the wood, and she was looking at a sea of green leaves.Then a bird appeared and began to fly around her head, screaming, “Egg thief, egg thief, go away.”“I'm not an egg thief,” said Alice.“Oh no,” said the bird angrily, “But you eat eggs, don't you?”“Yes, I do,but I don't steal them,” explained Alice quickly, “We have them for breakfast,you know.”“Then how do you get them if you don't steal them?” screamed the bird.This was a difficult question to answer, so Alice brought up her right hand through the leaves and ate a little from the other piece of mushroom.She began to get smaller at once.And very carefully, she ate first from one hand, then from the other, until she was about 25 centimeters high.“That's better,” she said to herself, “And now I must find that garden.”She began to walk through the wood, and after a while, she came to a little house.翻译第三章：与毛毛虫的对话这时，爱丽丝自言自语道：“首先，我得长得再大一些。其次，我得找到通往那座美丽花园的路。我觉得这是最好的计划，不过哎呀，我该怎么才能长得更大呢？也许我得吃点什么或者喝点什么，但问题是该吃什么？”爱丽丝环顾四周，看着那些花和树木，却看不到任何能吃的东西。然后，她看到身旁有一颗巨大的蘑菇。它和她一样高。她走过去看了看，只见蘑菇顶上有一条巨大的毛毛虫正抽着烟斗。过了一会儿，毛毛虫从嘴里取出烟斗，用缓慢而困倦的声音对爱丽丝说：“你是谁？”“先生，我真的不知道，”爱丽丝说，“我早上醒来时还知道自己是谁，但从那以后我变化了好多好多。我觉得我现在已经是个完全不同的我了。”“你这是什么意思？”毛毛虫说，“解释一下吧。”“我没法解释我自己，先生，”爱丽丝说，“因为你知道的，我不是我自己。”“我不知道，”毛毛虫说。“这很难描述，”爱丽丝礼貌地回答，“一会儿我非常小；下一刻我又高得像座房子；然后我又变小了。通常我一整天都保持不变，而频繁地改变又让我感觉很奇怪。”“你说，”毛毛虫用一种非常不友好的声音说道，“你是谁？”他们现在又回到了对话的开头，而这并没有什么帮助。爱丽丝感到有点生气，决定走开。“回来吧，”毛毛虫在她身后喊道，“我有重要的事情要说。”这听起来好多了，于是爱丽丝转过身来。“别生气，”毛毛虫说。“就这些吗？”爱丽丝说，“只是尽量不生气？”“不，”毛毛虫说。几分钟里，它一直抽着烟斗，没有说话。但最后，它把烟斗从嘴里拿出来，说道：“所以你变了，是吗？你想变成多高？”“我想变大一点，先生。求求了！”爱丽丝说，“8 厘米实在是太小了。”几分钟里，毛毛虫一直抽着烟斗。然后它抖了抖身子，从蘑菇上下来，慢慢地走进草丛里。它没有回头看爱丽丝，而是说道：“一边会让你变高，另一边我们会让你变矮。”“什么一边？”爱丽丝心里想着。她没有大声说出来，但毛毛虫却在谈论那个蘑菇。然后，它走进了树林里。爱丽丝仔细地观察着那朵蘑菇，但发现它圆圆的，没有边角。最后，她从蘑菇的相对两侧各掰下了一小块。她用左手吃了一些小块里的东西，然后等着看会发生什么。一分钟过后，她的脑袋已经和树林里最高的那棵树一样高了，她正望着一片绿色的树叶海洋。这时一只鸟出现了，开始围着她的脑袋飞来飞去，尖叫着：“偷蛋贼，偷蛋贼，走开。”“我不是偷蛋贼，”爱丽丝说。“哦，不，”那只鸟生气地说，“但你吃鸡蛋，不是吗？”“是的，我吃鸡蛋，但我不是偷蛋贼，”爱丽丝迅速解释道，“你知道的，我们早餐会吃鸡蛋。”“那如果你们不吃的话，又是怎么得到鸡蛋的呢？”那只鸟尖叫道。这个问题很难回答，所以爱丽丝用另一只手从树叶中伸出，从另一块蘑菇上吃了一点。她立刻开始变小。然后非常小心地，她先从一只手那里吃一点，接着再从另一只手那里吃一点，直到她大约高了 25 厘米。“好多了，”她自言自语道，“现在我得找到那个花园。”她开始穿过那片树林前行，不一会儿，她就来到了一座小房子里。

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.nonsense 胡言乱语2.Duchess 公爵夫人3.fan 风扇原文Chapter 2: The Pool of Tears“Curiouser, curiouser,” said Alice.She was very surprised, and for a minute, she forgot how to speak good English.“I shall be as tall as a house in a minute,” she said.She tried to look down at her feet and could only just see them.“Goodbye feet,”she called, “Who will put on your shoes now? Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking?”Just then, her head hit the ceiling of the room.She was now about 3 meters high.Quickly she took the little gold key from the table and hurried to the garden door.Poor Alice,she lay on the floor and looked into the garden with one eye, she could not even put her head through the door.She began to cry again and went on crying and crying.The tears ran down her face.And soon,there was a large pool of water all around her on the floor.Suddenly, she heard a voice and she stopped crying to listen.“Oh, the Duchess,the Duchess, she'll be so angry. I'm late and she's waiting for me. Oh dear, oh dear.”It was the White Rabbit again.He was hurrying down the long room with some white gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other hand.Alice was afraid, but she needed help.She spoke in a quiet voice, “Oh, please, sir.”The rabbit jumped wildly, dropped the gloves and the fan, and hurried away as fast as he could.Alice picked up the fan and the gloves.The room was very hot, so she began to fan herself while she talked.“Oh dear, how strange everything is today. Did I change in the night, am I a different person today? But if I'm a different person, then the next question is ‘who am I', that's the mystery.”She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand.She was wearing one of the rabbit's white gloves.“How did I get it on my hand?” She thought, “Oh I'm getting smaller again.”She looked round the room.“I'm already less than a meter high and getting smaller every second. How can I stop it?”She saw the fan in her other hand and quickly dropped it.She was now very very small, and the little garden door was locked again, and the little gold key was lying on the glass table.“Things are worse than ever,” thought poor Alice.she turned away from the door and fell into salt water right up to her neck.At first, she thought it was the sea, but then she saw it was the pool of tears, her tears.“Crying makes a lot of tears when you are 3 meters tall. Oh, why did I cry so much,” said Alice.She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big.Just then she saw an animal in the water near her.It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse.“Shall I speak to it?” thought Alice, “Everything's very strange down here, so perhaps a mouse can talk.”So she began, “Oh,mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I'm very tired of swimming. Oh, mouse.”Alice did not know if this was the right way to speak to a mouse, but she wanted to be polite.The mouse looked at her with its little eyes, but it said nothing.“Perhaps it doesn't understand English,” thought Alice. “Perhaps it's a French mouse?”So she began again and said in French, “Where is my cat?”This was the first sentence in her French lesson book.The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily.“Oh, I'm so sorry,” cried Alice quickly.“Of course,you don't like cats, do you?” Cried the mouse in a high, angry voice.“Well, perhaps not,” Alice began kindly.But the mouse was now swimming quickly away, and soon Alice was alone again.At last, she found her way out of the pool and sat down on the ground.She felt very lonely and unhappy, but after a while the White Rabbit came past again, looking for his white gloves and his fan.“The Duchess,the Duchess. Oh, my ears and whiskers. She'll cut my head off, I know she will.Oh, where did I drop my gloves?”Then he saw Alice.“Why? Mary Anne, what are you doing here? Run home at once and bring me some gloves and a fan.Quick now.”Alice hurried away.“But where is his house?” she thought while she ran strangely. She was no longer in the long room with a little door, but outside in a wood.She ran and ran, but could not see a house anywhere, so she sat down under a flower to rest.翻译第二章：泪之池塘“越来越奇怪了，越来越奇怪了，”爱丽丝说道。她非常惊讶，有一会儿甚至忘记了如何用标准的英语表达。“马上我就会长得跟房子一样高了。”她说。她试图低头看看自己的双脚，却只能勉强看到它们。“再见了，双脚。”她喊道，“现在谁来给你穿上鞋子呢？哦，天啊，我这话说得真是荒唐！”就在这时，她的头撞到了房间的天花板上。她现在大约有 3 米高。她迅速从桌子上拿起那把小金钥匙，匆匆走向花园的门。可怜的爱丽丝，她躺在地板上，用一只眼睛看着花园，甚至都无法把头伸进门里。她又开始哭了起来，不停地哭啊哭啊。眼泪顺着她的脸颊流下来。很快，地板上周围就形成了一大滩水。突然，她听到了一个声音，她停止哭泣去倾听。“哦，公爵夫人，公爵夫人，她会非常生气的。我迟到了，她还在等我呢。哎呀，哎呀！”又是那只白兔。他正匆匆穿过长长的房间，一只手拿着白色的手套，另一只手拿着一把大扇子。爱丽丝感到害怕，但她需要帮助。她用轻柔的声音说道：“哦，先生，请您帮帮我吧。”兔子疯狂地跳跃着，丢下了手套和扇子，然后以最快的速度匆匆离开了。爱丽丝捡起了扇子和手套。房间里非常热，于是她一边说话一边开始扇风。“哎呀，今天的一切都变得如此奇怪。我是不是在夜里发生了什么变化，今天我是不是变成了一个完全不同的自己？但如果我是另一个自己，那么接下来的问题就是‘我是谁'，这就是个谜。”她又开始感到非常不开心，但随后她低头看了看自己的手。她正戴着一只兔子的白色手套。“我怎么会把这只手套戴在手上呢？”她想，“哦，我又变小了。”她环顾了一下房间。“我已经不到一米高了，而且每秒钟都在变小。我怎么能阻止它呢？”她看到另一只手里拿着的扇子，迅速把它扔了下去。她现在非常非常小了，那个小花园的门又锁上了，那把小金钥匙正躺在玻璃桌子上。“情况比以往任何时候都更糟了，”可怜的爱丽丝心想。她转身远离门，掉进了水里，水一直没过她的脖子。起初，她以为那是大海，但随后她看到那是泪水的池塘，那是她的泪水。“当你有三米高时，哭泣会流下很多眼泪。哦，我为什么哭得这么厉害呢？”爱丽丝说道。她游来游去，寻找出路，但这个水池太大了。就在这时，她看到水里靠近自己的一只动物。对爱丽丝来说，它看起来像一只大动物，但其实只是一只老鼠。“我要和它说话吗？”爱丽丝心想，“这里的一切都太奇怪了，所以也许老鼠会说话。”于是她开口说道：“哦，老鼠，你知道怎么走出这个水池吗？我游得太累了。哦，老鼠。”爱丽丝不知道这样跟一只老鼠说话是否恰当，但她还是想保持礼貌。老鼠用它的小眼睛看着她，但什么也没说。“也许它不懂英语，”爱丽丝想，“也许它是只法国老鼠？”于是她又开始说起来，用法语说道：“我的猫在哪里？”这是她法语课本上的第一句话。老鼠从水里跳出来一半，愤怒地看着她。“哦，我很抱歉，”爱丽丝急忙说道。“当然，你不喜欢猫，对吧？”老鼠高声愤怒地说道。“嗯，也许不喜欢，”爱丽丝和善地说道。但老鼠这时正快速游走，很快爱丽丝又独自一人了。最后，她从水池里找到了出路，坐在地上。她感到非常孤独和沮丧，但过了一会儿，白兔又走了过来，正在寻找他的白色手套和扇子。“公爵夫人，公爵夫人。哦，我的耳朵和胡须啊。她会砍掉我的脑袋的，我知道她会的。哦，我把手套丢哪儿了？”然后他看到了爱丽丝。“怎么了？玛丽·安妮，你在这儿干什么？马上跑回家，给我拿些手套和扇子来。快点。”爱丽丝匆匆跑开了。“但他的房子在哪里呢？”她一边跑一边奇怪地想着。她不再是在那间有小门的长房间里，而是在外面的树林里。她跑啊跑，却哪儿也看不到房子，于是她就在一棵花下坐下来休息。

To create is to submit. Here's my story, this is me. Filmmaker, actor, and comic book writer David Dastmalchian returns to the podcast this week. He's discussing his new graphic novel Through, made in collaboration with artist Cat Staggs and letterer Adam Wollet. It's a deeply intimate story about an orphan who cracks her head and enters a fantastical realm as a result. There are direct allusions to Lewis Carroll and several other classics and not-so-classics. However, ultimately, Through is David Dastmalchian revealing a piece of himself to the reader, and hoping the reader finds a piece of themselves within, too. As with his films and the characters he inhabits, David Dastmalchian's comics are acts of self-reflection. While telling an engaging, scary, thrilling adventure into wonderland, Through is also a chronicle of an anxious moment in Dastmalchian's life. We're grateful he was willing to join us for a thoughtful discussion about mental health and the pursuit of understanding via artistic expression. Not every creator wants to go there, but David Dastmalchian delights in the internal plunge. On the show this week, we discuss David Dastmalchian's inspirations, how Through differs from other comics work like Count Crowley, and what this medium offers that others do not. Through is currently available from Z2 Comics in multiple editions. Please, continue the conversation with David Dastmalchian by following his Instagram and Website.

Alice'sAdventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.whiskers 原文Chapter 1: Down The Rabbit HoleAlicewas beginning to get very bored.She and hersister were sitting under the trees.Her sister wasreading, but Alice had nothing to do.Once or twice,she looked into her sister's book, but it had no pictures or conversations init.“And what isthe use of book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”She tried tothink of something to do, but it was a hot day and she felt very sleepy andstupid.She was stillsitting and thinking, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her.There wasnothing really strange about seeing a rabbit, and Alice was not very surprisedwhen the rabbit said, “oh dear, oh dear, I shall be late.”“Perhaps itwas a little strange,” Alice thought later, but at the time she was notsurprised.But then therabbit took a watch out of its pocket, looked at it, and hurried on.At once, Alicejumped to her feet.“I've neverbefore seen a rabbit with either a pocket or a watch to take out of it,” shethought, and she ran quickly across the field after the rabbit.She did notstop to think, and when the rabbit ran down a large rabbit hole, Alice followedit immediately.After a littleway, the rabbit hole suddenly went down deep into the ground.Alice couldnot stop herself falling and down she went to.It was a verystrange hole, Alice was falling very slowly, and she had time to think and tolook around her.She could seenothing below her, because it was so dark.But when shelooked at the sides of the hole, she could see cupboards and books and pictureson the walls.She had timeto take things out of a cupboard, look at them, and then put them back in acupboard lower down.“Well,”thought Alice, “After a fall like this, I can fall anywhere. I can falldownstairs at home, and I won't cry or say a word about it.”“Down, down,down. How far have I fallen now?” Alice said aloud to herself, “Perhaps I'mnear the center of the earth, let me think that's 4000 miles down.”Alice was verygood at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this.Down, down,down. Would she ever stop falling?Alice was verynearly asleep when suddenly she was sitting on the ground.Quickly shejumped to her feet and looked around.She could seethe White Rabbit, who was hurrying away and still talking to himself.“Oh, my earsand whiskers, he was saying, ‘how late it's getting'. ”Alice ranafter him like the wind.She wasgetting very near him, when he suddenly turned a corner.Alice ranround the corner too, and then stopped.She was now ina long, dark room with doors all-round the walls, and she could not see the WhiteRabbit anywhere.She tried toopen the doors, but they were all locked.“How will Iever get out again?” she thought sadly.Then she saw alittle glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small goldkey.Alice quicklytook the key and tried it in all the doors, but oh dear, either the locks weretoo big or the key was too small, but she could not open any of the doors.Then she sawanother door, a door that was only 40 centimeters high.The littlegold key unlocked this door easily, but of course Alice could not get throughit.She was muchtoo big, so she lay on the floor and looked through the open door into abeautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.Poor Alice wasvery unhappy.“What awonderful garden,” she said to herself, “I'd like to be out there, not in thisdark room. Why can't I get smaller?”Itwas already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anythingwas possible.After a while,she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table.She put thekey down, and then she saw a little bottle on the table.“I'm sure itwasn't here before,” said Alice.Round the neckof the bottle was a piece of paper with the words “Drink Me” in large letters.But Alice wasa careful girl.“It can bedangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said, “What will it do to me?”She drank alittle bit very slowly.The taste wasvery nice, like chocolate and oranges and hot sweet coffee.And very soon,Alice finished the bottle.“What astrange feeling,” said Alice, “I think I'm getting smaller and smaller everysecond.”And she was.A few minuteslater, she was only 25 centimeters high.And now, shesaid happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”She ran atonce to the door.When she gotthere, she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table.She ran backto the table for it, but of course she was now much too small.There was thekey high above her on top of the table.She tried veryhard to climb up the table leg, but she could not do it.At last, tiredand unhappy, Alice sat down on the floor and cried.But after awhile, she spoke to herself angrily, “Come, now.”She said, “Stopcrying at once. What's the use of crying?”She was astrange child and often talked to herself like this.Soon, she sawa little glass box near her on the floor.She opened itand found a very small cake with the words “Eat Me” on it.Nothing couldsurprise Alice now.“Well, I'lleat it,” she said, “If I get taller, I can take the key off the table. And if Iget smaller, I can get under the door. One way or another? I'll get into thegarden, so it doesn't matter what happens.”She ate a bitof the cake and then put her hand on top of her head.“Which way,which way?” she asked herself a little afraid.Nothinghappened.This was notreally surprising.People don'tusually get taller or shorter when they eat cake, but a lot of strange thingswere happening to Alice today.“It will bevery boring,” she said, “If nothing happens.”So she went oneating and very soon the cake was finished.翻译第一章：跌入兔子洞爱丽斯开始感到非常无聊。她和她的姐姐正坐在树下。她的姐姐在看书，而爱丽斯却无事可做。她曾几次看向姐姐的书，但那本书里既没有插图也没有对话。“书有什么用呢？”爱丽斯心想，“如果没有插图和对话，那还有什么意义呢？”她试图想出点事情来做，但这是个炎热的天气，她感到非常困倦和愚蠢。她依旧坐着思考，突然一只长着粉红色眼睛的白兔从她身边跑过。看到一只兔子本身并没有什么特别的，当这只兔子说“哎呀，哎呀，我要迟到了”时，爱丽斯也没有太惊讶。“也许这有点奇怪，”爱丽斯后来想，但当时她并不感到惊讶。然后这只兔子从口袋里拿出一块表看了看，就匆匆赶路了。立刻，爱丽斯跳了起来。“我以前从未见过长着口袋和手表还能拿出来使用的兔子，”她心想，然后她迅速穿过田野追着兔子跑。她没有停下来思考，当兔子跑进一个巨大的兔子洞时，爱丽斯立刻跟了上去。走了没多远，兔子洞就突然向下深入地下了。爱丽丝忍不住往下坠去。这是一个非常奇怪的洞，爱丽丝缓缓地往下坠，有时间思考和环顾四周。她看不到下面的情况，因为太黑了。但当她看向洞壁时，她能看到橱柜、书籍和图画。她有时间从一个橱柜里拿出东西，看一看，然后再放回去放到更低的橱柜里。“嗯，”爱丽丝想，“像这样坠落之后，我可能会坠到任何地方。我可以在家楼下坠落，而且不会哭也不会说一句话。”“往下，往下，往下。我现在已经坠落了多远了？”爱丽丝自言自语道，“也许我接近地球的中心了，让我想想，那是地下 4000 英里。”爱丽丝在学校的学习成绩很好，能记住很多这样的事情。往下，往下，往下。她会停止坠落吗？爱丽丝几乎要睡着了，突然她坐在了地上。她迅速跳起身来，环顾四周。她能看到那只白兔，它正匆匆离去，还在自言自语。“哦，我的耳朵和胡须，”他说道，“天都这么晚了。”爱丽丝像风一样追着他跑。她越来越接近他了，这时他突然拐了个弯。爱丽丝也绕过那个弯，然后停了下来。她现在身处一个长长的、黑暗的房间里，四周的墙壁上都有门，而她哪儿也找不到那只白兔的踪影。她试图打开那些门，但它们全都锁着。“我怎么才能再出去呢？”她悲伤地想。然后她看到一张有三个腿的小玻璃桌子，桌子上放着一把非常小的金钥匙。爱丽丝迅速拿起那把钥匙，试着把它插进所有的门里，但哎呀，要么锁太大了，要么钥匙太小了，任何一扇门都打不开。然后她看到了另一扇门，这扇门只有 40 厘米高。那把小金钥匙轻松地打开了这扇门，但当然爱丽丝无法通过它。她太大了，所以她躺在地板上，透过敞开的门望向外面一个美丽的花园，里面有绿色的树木和鲜艳的花朵。可怜的爱丽丝非常不开心。“多么美妙的花园啊，”她自言自语道，“我想去外面，而不是待在这个黑暗的房间里。为什么我不能变小呢？”这一天已经变得非常奇怪了，爱丽丝开始觉得任何事情都有可能发生。过了一会儿，她再次锁上了门，起身回到玻璃桌旁。她把钥匙放好，然后看到桌上有一个小瓶子。“我敢肯定之前它不在这里，”爱丽丝说道。瓶子的颈部有一张纸，上面用大字写着“喝我”。但爱丽丝是个细心的女孩。“喝陌生的瓶子里的东西可能会很危险，”她说，“这会对我有什么影响呢？”她慢慢地喝了一点。味道非常好，像巧克力、橙子和热香甜的咖啡。很快，爱丽丝就喝完了那瓶东西。“这是一种多么奇怪的感觉啊，”爱丽丝说道，“我觉得每秒钟我都在变得越来越小。”事实也的确如此。几分钟后，她只有 25 厘米高了。现在，她高兴地说道：“我可以穿过那个小门进入那个美丽的花园了。”她立刻跑向那扇门。当她到达那里时，她想起那把小金钥匙又回到了玻璃桌上。她跑回桌子去拿它，但此时她已经变得太小了。钥匙高高地放在桌子的顶端。她竭力想要爬上桌腿，但还是没能成功。最后，她疲惫又沮丧地坐在地板上哭了起来。但过了一会儿，她生气地自言自语道：“好了，现在停下吧。”她说：“立刻停止哭泣。哭有什么用呢？”她是个古怪的孩子，经常像这样自言自语。很快，她看到地板上靠近自己处有一个小玻璃盒子。她打开盒子，发现里面有一块很小的蛋糕，上面写着“吃我”。现在，没有什么能让她感到惊讶了。“好吧，我吃它吧。”她说，“如果我长高了，就能把桌上的钥匙取下来。如果我变小了，就能从门底下钻过去。不管怎样？反正我都能进入花园，所以不管发生什么都没关系。”她吃了点蛋糕，然后把手放在头顶上。“哪条路，哪条路？”她有点害怕地自言自语道。什么也没发生。这其实并不令人惊讶。人们一般吃蛋糕后身高不会变高或变矮，但今天艾丽斯身上却发生了很多奇怪的事情。“要是什么都没发生的话，那可就太无聊了。”她说。于是她继续吃着蛋糕，很快蛋糕就被吃完了。

“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take.” This powerful quote from Lewis Carroll sets the tone for a thought-provoking conversation between Lee Kemp and Jose Noya as they explore decision-making, fear of failure, and the regrets that come from opportunities left untaken. Through personal stories—from missed business opportunities and football trials to music ambitions—the hosts unpack how confidence, external influence, and the myth of the “perfect moment” can hold people back. The episode dives into concepts like analysis paralysis, reframing failure as learning, and the importance of taking intentional action rather than letting circumstances decide for you.At its core, this Inspiration Nation episode is about personal growth, mindset shifts, and embracing risk as a pathway to learning and opportunity. Lee and Jose encourage listeners to reflect on what decisions they may be avoiding and ask themselves a powerful question: “If you looked back from the end of your life, would you regret not trying?” With practical insights on overcoming fear, building confidence, and taking action—even when success isn't guaranteed—this discussion is a motivating reminder that progress comes from trying, failing, and trying again.Central Quote:“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take.” — Lewis CarrollIf this episode resonated with you, like, subscribe, and leave a review to help the Inspiration Nation podcast reach more listeners. Don't forget to follow the show on X @ListenToIN and visit www.InspirationNation.org.uk for more inspiring content and episodes.

EPISODE 677 - Peter Cotton - Tales from Frank the Snake for Children from a Doctor, Grandfather and StorytellerPeter Cotton is a retired physician living on Dewees Island in South Carolina, writing fun books for young children about Fred the lovable snake and his friends.Peter grew up in England where the first tale was conceived long ago as a bedtime story for his then young children about how (not) to cross the road. When they had their kids, they asked what happened to “Fred-Fred”. Peter teamed up with a special illustrator (Canadian Bonnie Lemaire) and published the first book “When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended”.Together they now have a series of nine popular award-winning books, having fun in rhyme with Jungle Jim, Perdy and Jack and several animal friends. They go to school, welcome Jungle Jim, try camping, visit the beach, tour Charleston and recently have been exploring the sights of USA. Peter's books have received numerous 5-star reviews (“move over Lewis Carroll”) and 5 Mom's Choice gold awards. Peter enjoys presenting Fred at schools.When not busy with Fred's adventures, Peter travels widely to lecture, to enjoy his family, and to play golf. He reflected on life, and on his career as a Professor of Medicine/ Gastroenterology, in his memoirs “The Tunnel at the End of the Light”.Peter says that he was not named after a rabbit. The English author Beatrix Potter wrote about Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Benjamin bunny and Cottontail. Peter Cottontail is a shortened American invention.https://petercottontales.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Last November Nick and John introduced Dimitra Fimi, the magnificent maven of Tolkien Studies and Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow, to students of J. K. Rowling's work. In that discussion, ‘Reading Rowling as Myth Maker and Myth Re-Writer: A Conversation with Dr Dimitra Fimi,' she shared her thoughts about Rowling's creative use of mythology in Harry Potter but especially in the Cormoran Strike series.The Hogwarts Professor team asked her to join us again because of Rowling's yuletide charm bracelet gift to Strike fandom and the recent announcement of the Strike 9 title, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. Her insights about the Longfellow poem as a possible even likely source of the next book's epigraphs are engaging, but it is her expertise in the arcane area of miniature books as well as mythology and the light each shines on the two items attached to the last link of the charm bracelet that open up exciting possibilities.Her idea is that the Psalter on the ninth link of the charm bracelet may actually be, unlike the other tokens on the bracelet's nine links, an object that will play a part in the story, a miniature book. It turns out that one inch high books were something of an industry as curios in the 19th and early 20th century, a means of demonstrating technological mastery.Dr Fimi discussed several projects she has been a part of in conjunctions with nano-technologists and the librarians at the University of Glasgow's special collections division. The one that has the most obvious link to English literature is the ‘Tiny Alice project,' a contemporary effort to minituarize Lewis Carroll's Alice stories to unfathomable minuteness:The Tiny Alice Project has produced one of the world's smallest books: a tiny reproduction of Lewis Carroll's children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). All 78 pages and 26,764 words of the story have been transposed on to a tiny silicon chip, with each page just the width of a human hair (60 microns). Each individual letter is just two microns high, and made from pure gold!Click on the icons below to find out more about the project, the technology behind it, and Lewis Carroll and his interest in the minuscule. Via the tabs above you can also discover the long tradition of miniature books, and teaching resources.Clip: Twixter link to tweet aboveYou can read Dr Fimi's write-up of ‘Tiny Alice' and the Miniature Book exhibition she curated at the University of Glasgow to highlight their special collection of these treasures at her 2019 blog post about them. Pictures that include annotated miniature books — copies in which their owners made notes in the miniscule margins of the printed pages — can be seen here.Later this week, Nick will be sharing his thoughts on Robert Browning's The Ring and the Book as the Ironbridge Murder story's template within Hallmarked Man, John, Nick, Sandy Hope, and Ed Shardlow will be parsing the ring within Strike8's Part Seven, and more about Longfellow's Evangeline — stay tuned!The Ten Questions Guiding Today's Conversation with Dr Fimi with the Necessary Links for Fun Follow-Up:(Intro) So everything Serious Strikers are thinking and talking about this month made me think of you, Dimitra, and to write you hat-in-hand with an invitation for your return to HogwartsProfessor to share your perspective, knowledge, and first impressions. Thank you for making time to join us!1. (John) Jumping right in, then, two of the charms on the Strike9 or ‘Evangeline' bracelet are Fimi areas of unique expertise: the Psalter and the Head of Persephone. I had urged readers to read your Miniature Books in Children's Fantasy at A Kind of Elvish Craft: The Dimitra Fimi Substack Site in the links after our conversation here last November but I confess to being surprised still when you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter charm after Nick and I posted our thoughts on the subject. For those who haven't read your ‘Miniature Books' post, please share how one of the world authorities on the writing of J. R. R. Tolkien became interested in the smallest of texts, the ‘Little Books' of 19th century printing.2. (Nick) So you asked for the dimensions of the Psalter, you weren't thinking as we were that the Psalter charms would be a box holding a folded up paper with a psalm, maybe two, inside it. You're thinking it might actually be a complete Coverdale Psalter? Is that possible?3. (John) What Nick and I hope to contribute to the nascent field of Rowling Studies, as you know, is a refocusing of the scholarship and the serious reader attention about her work on to her Lake Springs -- the biographical part of story inspiration -- her Shed Tools or intentional artistry, and the Golden Threads, the plot points and themes that run throughout her work, i.e., to bring Rowling Studies more in line with all literary scholarship about notable authors, living and dead.One of the Golden Threads we talked about in our Kanreki series last summer was the ‘Embedded Text,' the books inside a book topos that is in almost every book Rowling writes (Kanreki Golden Thread posts one and two). Detective fiction is always about an embedded text, the narrative ‘written' by the criminal to prevent the detective from reading the real story of what happened and Rowling-Galbraith often makes this narrative an actual book (Dumbledore Chocolate Frog Card, Tales of Beedle the Bard, Bombyx Mori, Talbot's ‘True Book,' The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus, etc.). How do you think a Psalter miniaturized book would appear in a Strike novel?4. (Nick) Has an author used a miniaturized book before in this way? Were there 19th Century Psalters that people wore as talismans or carried as the original Pocket Books?5. (John) And what about the Head of Persephone charm on that bracelet? It's on the ninth and last link, paired with that Psalter. You shared your first thought about the Persephone charm, a hopeful note, on the comment thread here. As our go-to authority on Greek mythology, I'm dying to know more of your thinking about (a) the specific charm and its relation to the Cupid and Psyche myth-template to the Strike series, (b) its pairing with the Psalter, and (c) its position as the last charm on the bracelet. Do you still think it's a sign that Robin will survive Sleep Tight, Evangeline?6. (Nick) As someone immersed in mythological studies and more than familiar with Rowling's use of myth, do you think the Jungian interpretation of that myth as the ‘actualization of feminine identity' is a better lens through which to read that embedded text or is the Spenserian lens of Eros/Anteros, False Cupid and Cupid more helpful? Or is this not a case of Either/Or but Both/And? Valentines Day Special7. (John) Rowling is a close reader and admirer of J. R. R. Tolkien, though that is more evident in the clear pointers to his work in her own work than from her interviews. How does her use of myth contrast with that of Tolkien and Lewis? (See John's 2008 post about Rowling's debts to Tolkien and the two part podcast with Tolkien scholars and Rowling Readers Dr Amy H Sturgis and Dr Sara Brown here and here for more on that influence.)8. (Nick) In an in-person meeting with UK Serious Strikers last week, Rowling shared with them and later via X with everyone the title of the ninth Strike novel, Sleep Tight, Evangeline. We're pretty sure that title refers to a song by an American Blues group called ‘The Whiskey Shambles' (story of the hunt, why Whiskey Shambles is a good bet). There is a famous poem, though, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called ‘Evangeline,' one perhaps not as famous as ‘Aurora Leigh' or ‘The Ring and the Book,' other texts Rowling may have used as back-drops to her novels, but still another poem very famous in its own time akin to those epics. Is its subject matter as good a match-up with the possible direction of Sleep Tight as the Victorian poetry back-drop is with other Rowling models?9. (John) You're a native Greek speaker; what does ‘Evangeline' mean in Greek? Is it a common name in Greece or is it a ‘Virtue Name' in the Puritan tradition of grace-filled names (cf., Credence Barebone is probably a reference to an Englishman named “Praise-God Barebone, whose son Nicholas may have been given the name If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned[3]“).10. (Nick) Don't leave before trying to tie together the pieces of this conversation! Is there a thread joining the Psalter, the Head of Persephone, miniaturized books, and the title Sleep Tight, Evangeline?Dimitra Fimi is Professor of Fantasy and Children's Literature at the University of Glasgow and Co-Director of the Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic.

Policy proposals from the White Queen. (It's a Lewis Carroll reference. No, I'm not talking about the Mad Hatter or the Red Queen. It's from "Through the Looking Glass".)  Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society By: Eric A. Posner and Eric Glen Weyl Published: 2019 384 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A series of radical proposals for restructuring property, voting, immigration, investing, and employment. All of the proposals seek to solve the problem of "monopolized or missing markets" in ways that seem pretty strange. One has to wonder if there's a good reason those markets didn't exist in the first place.  What authorial biases should I be aware of? Posner has his finger in all sorts of things, and has defended everything from post-9/11 government surveillance to increasing foreign aid. I guess the throughline is a belief in technocratic solutions? Weyl is an economist working for Microsoft who helped popularize the idea of quadratic voting, and had a political awakening while reading Ayn Rand. This feels more like his book than Posner's but perhaps I'm imagining that. Who should read this book? I read this as part of an ACX/SSC book club. Most of the people didn't like it. They felt that it was too radical. (Though you can't say we weren't warned, it's right there in the title.) But if you want to see what mechanisms Georgist economists come up with when they're completely unrestrained, this might be the book for you. What does the book have to say about the future? Hayek is famous for noting that the big advantage of markets is that they are giant distributed systems for discovering prices and allocating resources effectively. They're obviously not perfect, and socialists have long dreamt of having a centrally planned economy that would be fairer and work better. Posner and Weyl imagine a future where computing power and machine learning could take over some of the work currently being done by markets, and thereby improve the outcomes. Specific thoughts: "Six impossible things before breakfast"

No hay obra de arte que no pida prestado. El Mago de Oz, por ejemplo, es una película de 1939 que estaba basada en una obra de teatro de Broadway. Esa obra estaba basada en las novelas originales de Oz, de L. Frank Baum, que a su vez estuvieron inspiradas por Alicia en el país de las Maravillas, de Lewis Carroll. Y ni hablar de Wicked, una película basada en una obra de teatro salida de una serie de novelas, establecidas en el mundo de la película “El Mago de Oz”… En fin, en este episodio nos acompaña Sofía Felix Smith para hablar de Oz y la Intertextualidad, la relación mediante la cual un texto dialoga con otros textos previos a través de referencias, citas, estilos o significados compartidos.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 1, 2025 is: pseudonym • SOO-duh-nim • noun A pseudonym is a name that someone (such as a writer) uses instead of their real name. // bell hooks is the pseudonym of the American writer Gloria Jean Watkins. See the entry > Examples: “Edgar Wright, the filmmaker and genre specialist who has given the world modern gems like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver, estimates he was around 13 years old when he read ‘the Bachman Books,' a collection of four novels that Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman during the early years of his career.” — Don Kaye, Den of Geek, 9 Oct. 2025 Did you know? Pseudonym has its origins in the Greek adjective pseudōnymos, which means “bearing a false name.” French speakers adopted the Greek word as the noun pseudonyme, and English speakers later modified the French word into pseudonym. Many celebrated authors have used pseudonyms. Samuel Clemens wrote under the pseudonym “Mark Twain,” Charles Lutwidge Dodgson assumed the pseudonym “Lewis Carroll,” and Mary Ann Evans used “George Eliot” as her pseudonym.

Welcome back to The Literary Life podcast and our series on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Ella Hornstra open the conversation by sharing their commonplace quotes, then jump into the book discussion with some connections between Huxley and Lewis Carroll and how Brave New World is like Alice in Wonderland. Angelina also teaches about the medieval conception of the tripartite soul and how it relates to this story, as well as making some distinctions between literary satire and parody. They talk about more of the pictures of Freudian principles as illustrated in this society, as well as the way in which the characters live like machines. Ella goes into a little introductory information on Shakespeare's The Tempest and its connections to Brave New World to keep in mind as we continue reading. Don't forget to check out this coming year's annual Literary Life Online Conference, happening January 23-30, 2026, "The Letter Killeth, but the Spirit Quickeneth: Reading Like a Human". Our speakers will be Dr. Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, Dr. Anne Phillips, and, of course, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks. Also, we are excited to announce the upcoming spring course with Dr. Michael Drout, Viking and Old Norse Culture. Learn more and register at HouseofHumaneLetters.com.
