Therefore, it is not surprising that many artists have included images of Carroll in their work. However, you must be surprised when you learn that one of these artists was the surrealist Salvador Dali.
In 1969, an editor at Random House hired Dali to illustrate a limited edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as part of the Book of the Month series. As a result, 12 heliogravures were obtained, in which the well-known fairy tale acquired new features. For a long time, this version of the book was kept by only a few collectors, but in honor of the 150th anniversary of the fairy tale, Princeton University Press republished this work with illustrations by Dali and with a foreword by Mark Bernstein, head of the Lewis Carroll North American Society of Lovers.
We signed the illustrations with chapter titles translated by Boris Zakhoder. In total, there are eight versions of translation into Russian, including Nina Demurova and Vladimir Nabokov.
"Chapter Five In Which Worm Gives Helpful Advice".
"Chapter Seven, in which they drink tea like crazy."
"Chapter Three in which Cross of Instance takes place and a story with a tail."
"Chapter Eight, in which they play croquet at the Queen's."
"Chapter one, in which Alice almost fell through the Earth."
"Chapter Four In Which Newt Bill Goes Up The Chimney".
"Chapter Two, in which Alice is bathed in tears."
"Chapter Nine, in which the story of the Delicatessen is told."
"Chapter Six, In Which Pig and Pepper Meet."
