Carroll Lewis The Complete Illustrated Lewis Carroll
Книга полностью на английском языке. Lewis Carroll is famed for his magical stories, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", both of which are included in this volume illustrated throughout 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. Lewis Carroll created dozens of other verses, stories, acrostics and puzzles, and the mock heroic nonsense verse "The Hunting of the Snark" - all of which are included in this omnibus edition. 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.
