Re: Alice in Mongolian language

Dear J. Begzsuren,
 
Thank you for your response. It is very encouraging.
 
The actual exhibit will be in October 2015. But there is much to do prior to that hence the early start.
 
This project will lead to a book on the translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Writers for the book are being asked for their essays in April 2011. Once the essays are in, a group of scholars will then evaluate how Alice was translated into more than 90 languages. This task alone is estimated to take a year. The book itself will be published in 2014. The reason for the wide gap in time is that the editors will have to work in some 90 languages. It is a big undertaking.
 
I would like to purchase a copy of both editions of Alice in Mongolian, both the 1972 and the 2002.
 
The writer on the Mongolian Alice will evaluate both editions according to the instructions attached. Finding a Mongolian scholar to write is key to this.
 
I will send you additional information if you request it.
 
Thank you, Jon Lindseth

Dear Jon Lindseth,

Today we received your below email from Mrs. Bolormaa, a staff in the U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Now, we are trying to contact writers, and searching a article. In few days, we can send you detail contact.

By the way,
- when will be your an exhibition?
- how many copies and which edition is suitable for your exhibition? I sure, from our Ulaanbaatar Public Library OPAC, we can indicate there are 2 different editions or printed in 1972 and 2002. We'll try to find all edition and more copies.

Thank you for your answers and more detail information.
Sincerely Yours,
J.Begzsuren

Lady or Gentleman,

I am writing a book on the translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . It has been translated into Mongolian language.

I have an exhibition planned for New York along with the to be published book. Alice exists in more than 90 languages and so far I have over 80 essays being written.

I am looking for a copy of the Alice in Mongolian book and a Mongolian writer to write on Alice in Mongolia.

Can you point me to possible writers and sources for the book?

Thank you, Jon Lindseth
