"Alice im Wunderland ist ein erstmals 1865 erschienenes Kinderbuch des britischen Schriftstellers Lewis Carroll. Alice im Wunderland gilt als eines der hervorragenden Werke aus dem Genre des literarischen Nonsens.
Während ihre Schwester ihr aus einem Buch vorliest, sieht die Titelheldin Alice ein sprechendes, weißes Kaninchen, das auf eine Uhr starrt und meint, es komme zu spät. Neugierig folgt Alice ihm in seinen Bau. Dort fällt sie weit hinunter und landet in einem Raum mit vielen Türen. Nach einiger Zeit findet sie einen Schlüssel, mit dem sie die kleinste Tür aufsperren kann. Sie öffnet diese, schafft es allerdings nicht hindurch, weil sie zu groß ist. Kurz darauf findet sie ein Fläschchen mit einem Trunk, der sie kleiner macht. Aber dann ist die Tür, als sie klein genug ist, wieder zu. Aus diesem Grund entsteht ein Chaos, bis Alice letztlich klein genug ist und ins Wunderland, das von Paradoxa und Absurditäten nur so strotzt, hineingehen kann.

The Alice in Wonderland is the immortal book of the English writer Lewis Carroll. This is a fairy tale that has been admiring adults and children of the whole world for a century and a half.
Alice fearlessly jumps into the rabbit mink and gets into an unusual country, where the situation and the girl herself change every minute.
The Sea Bull in this country sings songs, and Rabbit wears a watch like a real English gentleman. Alice guesses absurd riddles and is honored to play a game of croquet with the Queen.
Had it all happened in reality or was it only a magical dream that had slipped on the dozing Alice?
Contents:
1. Alice im Wunderland.
2. Alice in Wonderland."
"Follow Alice as she tumbles into a world where hats are mad, cats vanish mid-sentence, and queens take croquet far too seriously. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland isn't just a book—it's a portal into delightful absurdity, linguistic acrobatics, and the kind of dream logic only Lewis Carroll could conjure. With wit sharper than the Queen's axe and characters as bizarre as your strangest dreams, this is the ultimate escape for the logically exhausted and the wonderfully curious. Step through the looking... no, wait—that's another story. Just follow the White Rabbit."
"The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire is an 1883 novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. Consisting of a series of episodes in the story of the English outlaw Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, the novel compiles traditional material into a coherent narrative in a colorful, invented 'old English' idiom that preserves some flavor of the ballads, and adapts it for children. The novel is notable for taking the subject of Robin Hood, which had been increasingly popular through the 19th century, in a new direction that influenced later writers, artists, and filmmakers through the next century.
The plot follows Robin Hood as he becomes an outlaw after a conflict with foresters and through his many adventures and runs with the law. Each chapter tells a different tale of Robin as he recruits Merry Men, resists the authorities, and aids his fellow man. The popular stories of Little John defeating Robin in a fight with staffs, of Robin's besting at the hands of Friar Tuck, and of his collusion with Allan a Dale all appear. In the end, Robin and his men are pardoned by King Richard the Lionheart and his band are incorporated into the king's retinue, much to the dismay of the Sheriff of Nottingham."

"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an 1845 memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th century in the United States.
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass encompasses eleven chapters that recount Douglass's life as a slave and his ambition to become a free man. It contains two introductions by well-known white abolitionists: a preface by William Lloyd Garrison, and a letter by Wendell Phillips, both arguing for the veracity of the account and the literacy of its author.
The most famous and inspirational works of Frederick Douglass include: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, My Bondage and My Freedom, Life and Times, Letter to Thomas Auld, The Frederick Douglass Papers Edition and many more."
