Synopsis "Through the Looking-Glass"

"Through the Looking-Glass" is the enchanting sequel to Lewis Carroll's beloved classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." This fantastical journey takes young Alice through a mirror into a whimsical world where logic is turned upside down and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In this reverse universe, Alice encounters talking flowers, peculiar kings and queens, and becomes a pawn in a bizarre game of chess leading to her own queendom. Carroll's mastery of wordplay, poetry, and wit is on full display as Alice navigates this topsy-turvy landscape, meeting memorable characters like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Red Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. The book is filled with imaginative sequences, thought-provoking riddles, and surreal humor, making it a delightful read for both children and adults. "Through the Looking-Glass" is more than just a children's story; it's a literary exploration of fantasy, perspective, and the growth of a young girl navigating an unpredictable world.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Daresbury, Cheshire, United Kingdom; January 27, 1832-Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom; January 14, 1898), better known in the literary world by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an Anglican deacon, logician, mathematician, photographer, and British writer. He was the eldest son of a large family and raised in a clerical environment, showing from a young age a great ability for mathematics and narrative, giving him the opportunity to enter Oxford, where he served as a mathematics professor for two decades.

Over the years, he became a multifaceted author, cultivating his passion for logic, literature, and photography, disciplines that were very reflected in his literary work.

Although Lewis Carroll did not receive international literary awards during his lifetime, his work was recognized and celebrated from its publication, and his influence has been lasting and global. Alice in Wonderland has been translated into more than 97 languages and has never stopped being published, establishing itself as an essential classic. Additionally, Carroll was a pioneer in the use of logic in children's literature and in the creation of fantastic worlds that challenge narrative conventions.

His most famous works are Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, in addition to other works such as The Hunting of the Snark or Sylvie and Bruno.
