Thus was the world first introduced to Alice and her pseudonymous creator, Lewis Carroll. This beautiful new edition of \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e features rarely seen illustrations by Salvador Dal  that illuminate the surreal yet curiously logical and mathematical realm into which Alice famously falls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an informative and wide-ranging introduction, Carroll expert Mark Burstein discusses Dal 's connections with Carroll, his treatment of the symbolic figure of Alice, and the mathematical nature of Wonderland. In addition, mathematician Thomas Banchoff reflects on the friendship he shared with Dal  and explores the mathematical undercurrents in Dal 's work.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Until now, the astounding illustrations drawn by Salvador Dalí for a deluxe limited edition and expensive version of\u003ci\u003e Alice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e were out of reach for most book lovers. This book fulfills the dreams of many who want to have their own copies of these beautiful works, with the addition of an erudite introduction to Carroll and Dalí by Mark Burstein and Thomas Banchoff.\"\u003cb\u003e--Edward Wakeling, author of \u003ci\u003eLewis Carroll: The Man and His Circle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"To those of us brought up on John Tenniel's iconic illustrations for \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, it seems unbelievable that anyone else would dare to attempt the task. Yet hundreds have done so, though none is as distinguished and few as imaginative as Salvador Dalí. This attractive 150th anniversary edition, which describes Dalí's mathematical interests and presents his illustrations (previously published only in a rare limited edition), is greatly to be welcomed.\"\u003cb\u003e--Robin Wilson, author of \u003ci\u003eLewis Carroll in Numberland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"How appropriate for this volume to appear as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the first publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Burstein and Banchoff give us insights into the genius of both Carroll and Dalí, and then we have Dalí's illustrations, which are far distant from any suggestion of realism. Altogether, it is a remarkable voyage through Wonderland on a new plane--an enlightening and pleasurable adventure.\"\u003cb\u003e--Morton N.
