If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there – one of the famous Lewes Carrolls quotes. He has been always interesting to all readers and researchers. Pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson English logician, mathematician, photographer, and novelist, especially remembered for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking- Glass. There is no answer to the mystery of Alice's success.
Many explanations have been suggested, but, like the Mad Hatter's riddle (The riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all), they are no more than afterthoughts. The book is not an allegory; it has no hidden meaning or message, either religious, political, or psychological, as some have tried to prove; and its only undertones are some touches of gentle satireon education for the children's special benefit and on familiar university types, whom the Liddells may or may not have recognized.
Carroll's classic fantasy can be read on many levels and appreciated by diverse audiences: it is at once a biting social and political satire sufficiently complex to satisfy the most sophisticated adult, and a delightfully whimsical fairytale to capture the fancy of the imaginative child. it is at once a biting social and political satire sufficiently complex to satisfy the most sophisticated adult, and a delightfully whimsical fairytale to capture the fancy of the imaginative child.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children's literature which is generally acclaimed as Dodgson's masterpiece. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit- hole into Wonderland, a fantasy realm populated by talking playing cards, anthropomorphic creatures, and other fantastical beings.
The tale is fraught with satirical allusions to Dodgson's friends and to life in the United Kingdom during the mid nineteenth century in general. The Wonderland described in the story is a place where logic and rules and reality are turned upside- down in ways that have made the story enduringly popular with adults, as well as children.
