Synopsis

Following the success with his Klingon translation of the classic tale "The Little Prince" in 2018, Klingon Teacher Lieven L. Litaer decided to publish a Klingon version of the beloved children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" written by Lewis Carroll. The book was heavily featured as an inspiration for the fictional main character of Captain Michael Burnham on the hit-series "Star Trek: Discovery" and quoted on several occasions. A few parts from the book were even translated into Klingon in the subtitles on Netflix. Enjoy this stunning story in Klingon, including a new English back-translation!

About this title

From the Back Cover

"We are all crazy here. I am crazy. You are crazy.
If you were not crazy, you would not have come here!"
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is without doubt one of the most famous pieces of world literature. Filled with absurd nonsense and lots of hidden wordplays it offers entertainment for both children and adults.
This translation by Klingon teacher Lieven L. Litaer is not just a pure translation, it conveys the wordplays into Klingon, creating all new jokes based on that language.
The book is bilingual and comes with an entirely new English backtranslation, providing a better under­standing of the Klingon text. A detailed appendix focuses on several translation steps and explains new words created for this project by Klingon inventor Marc Okrand.
