Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is famed for his magical stories, Alice in Wonderlandand Through the Looking-Glass, here illustrated throughout the inner pages by Sir John Tenniel's much loved drawings. However, inspired by the insatiable Victorian appetite for party games, tricks and conundrums, this eccentric and polymathical Englishman also wrote many other works of a humorous, witty, whimsical and nonsensical nature such as the mock-heroic nonsense verse 'The Hunting of the Snark', as well as dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, all of which are included in this volume. Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.… (más)
waltzmn: A "complete works" of an author is most meaningful when one understands the author. Understanding Charles Dodgson is very difficult; he was a strange, reclusive, highly intelligent man (very likely an autistic). Of all the many biographies, this one seems to come closest to telling who he really was, although it is surely not the last word.… (más)
In this magnificent collection of Lewis Carroll's complete literary writings, the reader will experience and enjoy the entire range of his talents: novels, stories, poems, and puzzles. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, as Carroll was actually named, created an enormous and enduring body of work among which are two of the best-known and best-loved children's classics, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass. Both these books, however, are sophisticated enough and rich enough in symbolism to be appre ciated by adults. In fact, both adults and children have for generations reveled irn the word play, scratched their heads at the inverted logic, and marveled at the delight ful farce that define all of Carroll's works. This essential volume also includes, among many other pieces, The Hunting of the Snark, Sylvie and Bruno, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, and Three Sunsets and Other Poems-all lesser known but no less important writings.
The air of parody and satire, both political and social, that runs through Carroll's works is confirmed by his choice of illustrator, the incomparable Sir John Tenniel.
The characters that Tenniel drew are as unforgettable as the written descriptions. Just think of the unstable and unlucky Humpty Dumpty, the pudgy twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and that smile of the Cheshire Cat.
So, as Lewis Carroll said when he first thought up the story of Wonderland, travel straight down the rabbit hole "without the least idea of what is to happen afterwards," and discover an imaginative and bound- less other world.
Lewis Carroll is the pseudonym used by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who was born in Cheshire, England, in 1832. He studied mathematics in college, and in 1854 was appointed mathematical lecturer at Christ Church College, Oxford. In 1865 he published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and in 1871 Through the Looking Glass. During all the time that "Lewis Carroll" was delighting children with his stories, C. L Dodgson was publishing scholarly books on mathematics, the most famous being Euclid and His Modern Rivals in 1879. He died in 1898. In the words.

Adventures in Wonderland, and its sequel,
Through the Looking Glass. Both these
books, however, are sophisticated enough
