Brush up German with Alice in Wonderland / Alice im Wunderland

Bilingual Book – German English

„Alice in Wonderland“ is considered to be one of the masterpieces of world literature and has been selected as one of the 100 greatest novels of all time by The Guardian.

With its funny and imaginative dialogues, the author takes us to a whole new world. The reader’s imagination is stimulated by scenes where drinking from a bottle will make Alice larger or smaller, where there are cakes that are made of pepper only, where there is a crazy trial and much more. You could say there are almost philosophical traits within the book. Thus, when Alice asks the Cheshire Cat for directions, the cat says:

That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat.
Das hängt zum guten Teil davon ab, wohin du gehen willst,’ sagte die Katze.

I don’t much care where–‘ said Alice.
Es kommt mir nicht darauf an, wohin –‘ sagte Alice.

Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.’
Dann kommt es auch nicht darauf an, welchen Weg du nimmst,’ sagte die Katze.’
