Arabella Trefoil, the beautiful anti-heroine of this novel, inspired Trollope to write of her, "I wished to express the depth of my scorn for women who run down husbands." Arabella's determination to find a rich husband is at the heart of this story and her character, though often maligned, is one of Trollope's most famous and vivid creations.

More than thirty years ago two atoms of the eternal Energy sped forth from the heart of it which we call God, and incarnated themselves in the human shapes that were destined to hold them for a while, as vases hold perfumes, or goblets wine, or as sparks of everlasting radium inhabit the bowels of the rock. Perhaps these two atoms, or essences, or monads indestructible, did but repeat an adventure, or many, many adventures. Perhaps again and again they had proceeded from that Home august and imperishable on certain mornings of the days of Time, to return thither at noon or nightfall, laden with the fruits of gained experience. So at least one of them seemed to tell the other before all was done and that other came to believe. If so, over what fields did they roam throughout the aeons, they who having no end, could have no beginning? Not those of this world only, we may be sure. It is so small and there are so many others, millions upon millions of them, and such an infinite variety of knowledge is needed to shape the soul of man, even though it remain as yet imperfect and but a shadow of what it shall be.

1:1 [hgb]  俄 巴 底 亚 得 了 耶 和 华 的 默 示 。 论 以 东 ， 说 ， 我 从 耶 和 华 那 里 听 见 信 息 ， 并 有 使 者 被 差 往 列 国 去 ， 说 ， 起 来 吧 ， 一 同 起 来 与 以 东 争 战 。      [kjv]  The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.     [bbe]  The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her. 1:2 [hgb]  我 使 你 以 东 在 列 国 中 为 最 小 的 ， 被 人 大 大 藐 视 。      [kjv]  Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.     [bbe]  See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.

《爱丽丝梦游仙境》（Alice's Adventures in Wonderland）是英国作家查尔斯·路德维希·道奇森以笔名路易斯·卡罗尔于1865年出版的儿童文学作品。故事叙述一个名叫爱丽丝的女孩从兔子洞进入一处神奇国度，遇到许多会讲话的生物以及像人一般活动的纸牌，最后发现原来是一场梦。这童话自1865年出版以来，一直深受不同年纪的读者爱戴，相信是由于作者巧妙地运用不合逻辑的跳跃方式去铺排故事。《爱丽丝梦游仙境》是一个典型“不合理文学”的例子，亦是其中一个最具影响力的童话故事。

This classical piece of juvenile fiction charmingly narrates a tale of discovery. It follows Tattine as she figures out the little mysteries of life and comes to grip with realities. This amazing work delightfully dwells on juvenile thinking and approach.
