Beschreibung

A classic of children's literature that includes both Alice stories, with the original illustrations.
Student edition, with an introduction by 19th-century specialist and historian Todd Webb.
Lightly annotated. The unabridged text of a great classic. Academic, easy-to-read format. Perfect for undergraduate and AP classes.
Are Lewis Carroll's two Alice books works of satire or fantasy-or a combination of the two? Or perhaps they are neither satire nor fantasy.
What Wittgenstein sees as language-based nonsense is at the heart of Lewis Carroll's Alice books. We can see that by examining the rules by which language games seem to be conducted in Wonderland and on the other side of the looking glass.
It is no wonder that Ludwig Wittgenstein seemed to enjoy Alice so much. Carroll was giving examples of the way language games can collapse into nonsense years before the Austrian began to think along the same lines. That is not to say that Wittgenstein drew direct inspiration from Carroll, but the works of the philosopher and the children's author speak to one another across the gulfs of time and genres.

Über den Autor

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 - 14 January 1898), more commonly known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was a scholar and lecturer of mathematics at Christ Church in Oxford. Despite his high capability and intellect as a distinguished professor in the public eye, it is his private work that has earned his name immortality and the attention of droves of literary scholars fascinated by his life. The use of the pen name was prompted by a fear that his peers and colleagues would cruelly judge and ridicule him for the nonsense he had [...] is often speculated that perhaps because of his vast knowledge of the logic and laws of mathematics that Carroll developed a taste and love for literary nonsense that abides by no rules. His absolute adoration for Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of Christ Church, seems to be the other major source of inspiration behind the classic [...] relationship between Carroll and Alice has provoked discussion amongst scholars. It is speculated that he may have once had intentions of courting and marrying the girl who was 20 years younger than him when she became of age. Carroll's personal diary suggests their close relationship caused his connection with the Liddell family to fracture [...] personal studio and collection of photographs and paintings of female children (portrayed clothed and also nude) have also added to the controversy. To many of his friends, he was able to convince them that the work was of a non-erotic nature, but interviews with several of those who personally knew Carroll make the argument for a different story.
