Part of Alice's appeal is her ambiguity, which makes possible a range of interpretations in adapting Lewis Carroll's classic Wonderland stories to various media. Popular re-imaginings of Alice and her topsy-turvy world reveal many ways of eliciting enchantment and shaping make-believe. Late 20th century and 21st century adaptations interact with the source texts and with each other--providing readers with an elaborate fictional universe. This book fully explores today's multi-media journey to Wonderland.

Alice beyond Wonderland explores the ubiquitous power of Lewis Carroll’s imagined world. Including work by some of the most prominent contemporary scholars in the field of Lewis Carroll studies, all introduced by Karoline Leach’s edgy foreword, Alice beyond Wonderland considers the literary, imaginative, and cultural influences of Carroll’s 19th-century story on the high-tech, postindustrial cultural space of the twenty-first century. The scholars in this volume attempt to move beyond the sexually charged permutations of the "Carroll myth," the image of an introverted man fumbling into literary immortality through his love for a prepubescent Alice. Contributions include an essay comparing Dantean and Carrollian underworlds, one investigating child characters as double agents in untamed lands, one placing Wonderland within the geometrical and algebraic “fourth dimension,” one investigating the visual and verbal interplay of hand imagery, and one exploring the influence of Japanese translations of Alice on the Gothic-Lolita subculture of neo-Victorian enthusiasts. This is a bold, capacious, and challenging work.

“A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The anti-(fairy) tale has long existed in the shadow of the traditional fairy tale as its flipside or evil twin. According to André Jolles in Einfache Formen (1930), such Antimärchen are contemporaneous with some of the earliest known oral variants of familiar tales. While fairy tales are generally characterised by a “spirit of optimism” (Tolkien) the anti-tale offers us no such assurances; for every “happily ever after,” there is a dissenting “they all died horribly.” The anti-tale is, however, rarely an outright opposition to the traditional form itself. Inasmuch as the anti-hero is not a villain, but may possess attributes of the hero, the anti-tale appropriates aspects of the fairy tale form, (and its equivalent genres) and re-imagines, subverts, inverts, deconstructs or satirises elements of these to present an alternate narrative interpretation, outcome or morality. In this collection, Little Red Riding Hood retaliates against the wolf, Cinderella’s stepmother provides her own account of events, and “Snow White” evolves into a postmodern vampire tale. The familiar becomes unfamiliar, revealing the underlying structures, dynamics, fractures and contradictions within the borrowed tales. Over the last half century, this dissident tradition has become increasingly popular, inspiring numerous writers, artists, musicians and filmmakers. Although anti-tales abound in contemporary art and popular culture, the term has been used sporadically in scholarship without being developed or defined. While it is clear that the aesthetics of postmodernism have provided fertile creative grounds for this tradition, the anti-tale is not just a postmodern phenomenon; rather, the “postmodern fairy tale” is only part of the picture. Broadly interdisciplinary in scope, this collection of twenty-two essays and artwork explores various manifestations of the anti-tale, from the ancient to the modern including romanticism, realism and surrealism along the way.

Filling an important gap in the literary world, The Richard Peabody Reader is a wide-ranging selection of this great writer's poetry and prose. As a publisher, Peabody's steadfast dedication to that which is new, challenging, innovative, and dynamic has won him a wide reputation among writers whose work he has championed. This volume demonstrates those same values, embodied in nearly four decades of fiercely smart, sophisticated, and often very funny writing. From his first collection of poems, I'm in Love with the Morton Salt Girl, to his most recent collection of short stories, Blue Suburban Skies, Peabody has established and developed a thoroughly unique voice, both warm and piercing, to deliver content that ranges from the hilarious, as in the short story "Flea Wars," to the bittersweet, as in the poem "The Other Man is Always French," to the elegiac, as in the poem in "Civil War Pieta," to the absurd, as in the rollicking farce of the short story, "Bad Day at Ikea." Peabody's aesthetic is all-embracing—strands of punk, beat, experimental, feminist, and political protest literary influences blend with the purely romantic to create a body of work that is both profound and pleasing.

Game theory is central to understanding human behavior and relevant to all of the behavioral sciences—from biology and economics, to anthropology and political science. However, as The Bounds of Reason demonstrates, game theory alone cannot fully explain human behavior and should instead complement other key concepts championed by the behavioral disciplines. Herbert Gintis shows that just as game theory without broader social theory is merely technical bravado, so social theory without game theory is a handicapped enterprise. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Reinvigorating game theory, The Bounds of Reason offers innovative thinking for the behavioral sciences.

英國奇幻文學150週年紀念經典版 諷刺和幽默的經典文學之作 為全世界的兒童讀者打開奔放的幻想之窗 給全世界的成年讀者會心莞爾的諷刺幽默 附原版譚尼爾爵士之手繪插圖，重現維多利亞時代的閱讀體驗 知名學者王安琪教授繼《赫克歷險記》後，又一精心譯注 耗時多年全新翻譯 中央研究院歐美所特聘研究員單德興、國家電影中心執行長林文淇傾心推薦 愛麗絲陪著姊姊坐在河畔，閒來沒事，正覺無聊，偶而偷瞄一兩眼姊姊讀的那本書，但書裡既沒圖畫又沒對話，愛麗絲心想：「一本書既沒圖畫又沒對話，有什麼用呢？」於是一直考慮（努力的想，因為天氣炎熱害她又睏又笨），要不要起來去摘雛菊，編個雛菊花環找點樂子。這時突然有一隻粉紅眼睛的白兔先生跑過身邊。本來這沒什麼非常大不了，聽到白兔先生自言自語「天哪！天哪！我遲到太久了！」 這段著名的場景，出自英國兒童文學經典，也是奇幻文學代表作的《愛麗絲幻遊奇境》。自1865年出版以來，愛麗絲及白兔先生帶領著全世界無數大人及孩童一起前往不可思議的國度。不但身體忽大忽小，還遇見會講話的柴郡貓、毛毛蟲、度度鳥等動物，參加瘋帽匠與三月兔的茶會，更見證紅心王后與國王的瘋狂審判，度過一場場精采的冒險。 1862年7月4日，路易斯‧卡若爾及好友德克沃斯（Robinson Duckworth）牧師，在「金色午後陽光燦爛」的日子，帶著牛津大學基督學院院長亨利‧黎竇（Henry George Liddell）的三位女兒出遊划船。在船上應三姊妹要求講故事，故事講完後愛麗絲‧黎竇（Alice Liddell）請他寫下故事，回家路易斯‧卡若爾立即提筆把口述故事寫成文字。他以牛津大學數學講師的理工思維，加上高度的文學造詣及創意想像，寫出極其精緻優美的詩文，完成了一本暗含文學、語言學、數學、邏輯等多重領域的譬喻典故和思維模式的諷刺文學。六年後他又寫下《愛麗絲鏡中奇緣》一書，讓愛麗絲帶領讀者穿越鏡子，到訪白棋王后與白棋騎士所在的另一個國度。路易斯‧卡若爾還邀請當時知名的插畫家約翰‧譚尼爾爵士（Sir John Tenniel）靈活地以精緻版畫呈現書中奇妙古怪的角色們。 《愛麗絲幻遊奇境》與《愛麗絲鏡中奇緣》二書被譽為英國兒童文學經典，也是奇幻文學代表作，更是全世界最膾炙人口的暢銷讀物。路易斯‧卡若爾以牛津大學數學講師的理工思維，擁有高度的文學造詣及創意想像，寫出極其精緻優美的詩文，玩弄英語語文遊戲於指掌，處處展現詼諧戲謔的笑果，令人嘆為觀止拍案叫絕。《愛麗絲》變成童書界的「奇葩」，打破當時流行的「文以載道」說教模式，「在體制內批判體制」，可謂革命之作，把閱讀童書的「樂趣」回歸給孩童，所以當其他的童書紛紛崛起又紛紛沒落，只有《愛麗絲》永遠保持龍頭寶座屹立不搖。 本書收錄《愛麗絲幻遊奇境》及《愛麗絲鏡中奇緣》，同時考量兒童與成人讀者的視野與立場，以詳細注解說明文字表面與文字底下的雙重文本意義，詮釋其歷史淵源、典故出處、幽默諧擬、文字遊戲等，尤其是數學家作者的文學素養，還原該書應有的「深度與廣度」，驗證《愛麗絲》是雅俗共賞的作品。譯文也不再遷就兒童口語的平淡淺易，而隨路易斯‧卡若爾的典雅文筆有所調整，完整呈現全書豐富生動的譬喻和引經據典，展現作者的博學多聞。
