Lewis Carroll Libros

La aparente antinomia entre Lewis Carroll autor de “Alicia en el País de las Maravillas” y “Alicia a través del espejo” y su auténtica identidad ­Charles Dodgson (1832-1895), diácono de la Iglesia de Inglaterra, profesor de matemáticas y ciudadano de vida ordenada­ se resuelve para Alfredo Deaño en el campo de la lógica, donde fabulación y matemáticas realizan la contradictoria tarea de aunar la ciencia del sentido y el flujo del sinsentido. En “El juego de la lógica” la neurosis del victoriano conformista, transferida a las construcciones mentales, muestra cómo el rigor de la inferencia puede desembocar en la locura; en la paradoja de los tres peluqueros y el debate entre Aquiles y la tortuga, la mentalidad del matemático plantea con sorprendente lucidez algunos problemas claves de la lógica moderna. Edición y traducción de Alfredo Deaño

Mientras fuera nieva, Alicia juega al ajedrez con su gatita Kiti y medita sobre cómo será el mundo al otro lado del espejo colgado en la pared de su salón. Se sorprenderá al comprobar que puede atravesarlo. De ese lado le espera otra partida de ajedrez. Esta vez jugará con sus propias reglas: allí las flores hablan, los unicornios pelean con leones, el tiempo avanza en sentido contrario Todo es posible en el mundo al revés

Esta edicion comentada de Alicia en el pais de las maravillas y A traves del espejo acentua el punto de vista logico y linguistico. La evidencia de que la logica de la imaginacion implicitamente contenida en los cuentos de Alicia es la misma que el autor hizo explicita en sus ensayos logicos, quiza ayude a atisbar algo mas el misterio de ese fascinante genio creador del disparate logico y linguistico.

Escrito en 1865, Alicia en el País de las Maravillas es un clásico no sólo de la literatura juvenil, sino de la literatura en general. Popularizado por las decenas de versiones que de él se han llevado a cabo, el relato que el reverendo Charles Dodgson, verdadero nombre de Lewis Carrol, escribiera para la niña Alicia Liddell, de diez años, es un delicioso entramado de situaciones verosímiles y absurdas, metamorfosis insólitas de seres y ambientes, juegos con el lenguaje y con la lógica y asociaciones oníricas que hacen de él un libro inolvidable.

Un exclusivo estuche que reúne los dos clásicos de Lewis Carroll: Alicia en el país de las maravillas y A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí. Alicia en el país de las maravillas Estás a punto de entrar en el mundo de Alicia, el más extrano y asombroso, disparatado e insólito que hayas conocido. En este mundo, los gatos desaparecen sonrientes, las reinas tienen ejércitos de naipes, los conejos visten chaleco y te apremian para que los sigas. Y si los sigues, caerás por el agujero de su madriguera… Hasta el País de las Maravillas. Allí, las reglas que conocemos no funcionan; en el País de las Maravillas todo tiene su lógica particular. La hora del té no acaba nunca, Tiempo es un senor que se enfada si no sigues el compás cuando cantas y las lágrimas pueden llegar a formar un mar. Desde su publicación, Alicia en el país de las maravillas ha fascinado a lectores como tú. A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí Concebida como una partida de ajedrez, donde cada elemento se convierte en una casilla y cada personaje en una pieza, en A través del espejo Alicia es un peón con aspiraciones de convertirse en reina. Como en Alicia en el país de las maravillas, en esta segunda entrega, hallamos, si cabe, aún más disparatadas aventuras, juegos de palabras y situaciones absurdas que presentan un mundo en el que nada es lo que parece o como debiera ser.

One of the most celebrated and best-loved nonsense poems in the English language, Jabberwocky first appeared in 1872 in Lewis Carroll's classic Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Joel Stewart reveals a natural affinity with Carroll's vision, capturing with great wit and imagination the extraordinary world of the poem and its memorable creatures, such as the Jubjub bird, the frumious Bandersnatch and the manxome Jabberwock.

Charles L. Dodgson was a Mathematical Lecturer at Oxford, better known as Lewis Carroll. This collection of mathematical puzzles was compiled in 1893, following years of insomnia. Dodgson claimed to have solved every puzzle, without pencil and paper, during his sleepness nights. This incredible feat is difficult to comprehend, even for such a genius. The complexity and good humor of the problems and tales are suggestive of his well-loved "Alice in Wonderland". Dodgson also hints at his pioneering the field of symbolic logic

Now more than one hundred years after Lewis Carroll’s immortal "Through the Looking-Glass" was published, lovers of the "Alice" books have a new episode written by Carroll in which Alice meets an aged, bad-tempered wasp who wears a yellow wig. The episode, which was originally intended to follow the White Knight sequence in Chapter VIII, is rich in Carrollian humor, nonsense, and wordplay; and it contains a five-stanza poem referencing the yellow wig. According to Martin Gardner, the discovery and publication of "The Wasp in a Wig" is an event of great significance not only for Carrollians but for anyone interested in language, humor, the adventures of Alice or, for that matter, wasps.

Lewis Carroll, renowned for his whimsical storytelling and wordplay, crafted beloved children's fiction, including the iconic tales of Alice. His works often blend fantasy with logic, exemplified in the nonsensical poetry of "Jabberwocky" and The Hunting of the Snark. Beyond writing, he was a mathematician, photographer, and Anglican deacon, deeply connected to Christ Church, Oxford, where he spent much of his life. Carroll's multifaceted talents and unique perspective on reality continue to enchant readers of all ages.
