Hunting of the Snark

Autor Lewis Carroll
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 iul 2014
"The Hunting of the Snark" was first published in 1876, eleven years after "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and four years after "Through the Looking-Glass." It is a masterpiece of nonsense and is connected to "Through the Looking-Glass" by its use of vocabulary from the poem "Jabberwocky." "The Hunting of the Snark" is a strangely dark poem, and some critics believe that its themes-insanity and death-are rather too adult in nature for children's literature. We know, nonetheless, that Lewis Carroll intended the poem to be enjoyed by children: he dedicated the book in acrostic verse to his young friend Gertrude Chataway, and signed some 80 presentation copies to other young readers. Many of those inscriptions were in the form of an acrostic based upon the name of the child to whom the book was presented. Part of the pleasure of reading this book is in the inevitable musing about what it means. Its author, often asked to explain his work, invariably replies that he does not know. It is therefore open to readers of the poem to decide the question for themselves... The Deseret alphabet was developed in the mid-19th century by the board of regents of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah) under the direction of Brigham Young, second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was intended to help make learning to write English easier. This wasn't very successful, though the alphabet does have interesting phonemic features, as well as being a fascinating part of Mormon history. This edition of "The Hunting of the Snark" is written entirely in that same alphabet, with fonts specially designed by John H. Jenkins and Michael Everson."

Notă biografică

Charles Lutwidge Dogson, mais conhecido como Lewis Carroll (27 de janeiro de 1832 a 14 de janeiro de 1898), era o terceiro dos onze filhos de um pastor anglicano, sendo que se acostumou a contar histórias aos irmãos. Chegou a receber educação religiosa, mas seu grande interesse por álgebra, lógica e geometria fez com que se formasse com honras na universidade de Oxford, onde foi convidado a atuar como professor de matemática. Chegou a publicar alguns livros de poesia e matemática com conteúdos criativos e repletos de humor. Foi por essa época que conheceu Henry Liddell, de quem se tornaria grande amigo. Liddell era pai de Alice, garotinha que serviu de inspiração para duas das obras que ficariam conhecidas como ícones da literatura infantil: Alice no País das Maravilhas e Alice Através do Espelho.
