Charles Lutwidge Dogson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was born on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. He is the author of the classics "Alices Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass" (1871). His works are characterized by his wonderful ability in the genre of literary nonsense. He died in 1898. The Story of "Through the Looking-Glass" is set some six months later than the one of "Alices Adventures in Wonderland." Again the curious little girl enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror. The book includes such well-known verses as "Jabberwocky" or "The Walrus and the Carpenter," and the famous episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day.Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There was first published in December 1871 (dated 1872). Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy world with a revised narrative structure. The twelve-chapter format was retained, but Looking-Glass is significantly longer than Wonderland (224 compared to 192 pages in the first editions), and introduces a range of new characters, and is framed by Alice's progression across a chess board to become queen. This new edition focuses solely on Through the Looking-Glass, with a penetrating and informative introduction by Zoe Jaques, including the most recent research and critical opinion on the subject matter.
