Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: AND Alice Through the Looking Glass


Description

Introduction by A. S. Byatt Illustrations by John Tenniel Includes commissioned endnotes Conceived by a shy British don on a golden afternoon to entertain ten-year-old Alice Liddell and her sisters, "Alice s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" have delighted generations of readers in more than eighty languages. The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books, writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction, lies in language. It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children. Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide"

"Best-selling book on the Scrolls, updated to reflect current scholarship and recent debates" The premier Dead Sea Scrolls primer ever since its original publication in 1994, James VanderKam's"Dead Sea Scrolls Today"won the Biblical Archaeology Society's Publication Award in 1995 for the Best Popular Book on Biblical Archaeology. In this expanded and Flash Forward free pdf updated edition the book will continue to illuminate the greatest archaeological find in modern times. While retaining the format, style, and aims of the first edition, the second edition of"The Dead Sea Scrolls Today"takes into account the full publication of the texts from the caves and the post-1994 debates about the Qumran site, and it contains an additional section regarding information that the Scrolls provide about Second Temple Judaism and the groups prominent at the time. Further, VanderKam has enlarged the bibliographies throughout and changed the phrasing in many places. Finally, quotations of the Scrolls are from the fifth edition of Geza Vermes's translation, "The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English"(Penguin, 1997)."
