Alice no País das Maravilhas, de Lewis Carroll, é um dos maiores clássicos da Literatura Universal. O livro vem encantando crianças, adolescentes e adultos desde sua publicação, em 1865 – e cada uma das gerações que folheia as páginas dessa obra descobre um novo aspecto de Alice e outras personagens inesquecíveis, como o Chapeleiro Maluco e a Rainha de Copas. Escrita durante o reinado da Rainha Vitória na Inglaterra, a obra satiriza o racionalismo exacerbado desse período por meio do nonsense, da introdução do maravilhoso na realidade cotidiana, relativizando as convenções dominantes de seu tempo.

Doch als der König sie bittet, für einen bevorstehenden Ball Prophezeiungen bezüglich Cyrus' Liebesleben zu fälschen, erweckt Violet einen gefürchteten Fluch zum Leben, der das Königreich entweder verdammen oder erlösen wird.
