Dalí's original title for this series was the French title Dalí illustre Casanova (Dalí illustrates Casanova). This already indicates that it was not merely a matter of illustration, but much more a resonating creative and imaginative interpretation of the literature - as one would expect of Dalí.
This series was published under the French title Dix Recettes de l'immortatlité. It contains, among other things, the first stereoscopic graphic in art history. All single works were originally contained in a special plexiglas case designed by Dalí, which has a telephone receiver as a handle and locks in the form of fried eggs.
In 1969 a luxurious edition of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland was published by Random House in New York. Dalí illustrated the work, which is dedicated to a circle of bibliophiles, with 13 colourful images.
