Gebundenes Buch

Through the Looking-Glass (Deluxe Library Edition) (Illustrated)

Beschreibung

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Set some six months later than the earlier book, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Through the Looking-Glass includes such celebrated verses as Jabberwocky, and The Walrus and the Carpenter, and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland began as a story told to three little girls in a rowboat, near Oxford. Ten year old Alice Liddell asked to have the story written down and two years later it was published with immediate success. Carroll's unique play on logic has undoubtedly led to its lasting appeal to adults, while remaining one of the most beloved children's tales of all time. This edition is complete with all 42 original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

Autor

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, and logician renowned for his contributions to children's literature and his innovative approach to narrative and language. Born in Daresbury, Cheshire, Carroll was a scholar at Oxford University, where he excelled in mathematics and became a lecturer. His creative talents, however, found their most enduring expression in his literary works, particularly in the realm of fantasy and whimsical storytelling. Carroll is best known for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), which revolutionized children's literature with their imaginative plots, playful language, and subversive wit. These books introduced readers to a world where logic was upended and whimsy reigned supreme. Carroll's ability to blend satire with fantasy created a new genre of children's storytelling that both entertained and challenged conventional norms. In addition to his literary achievements, Carroll was also a skilled photographer and a devoted mathematician. His works, characterized by their clever wordplay, nonsensical humor, and richly constructed worlds, continue to captivate audiences and influence writers and artists worldwide.
