Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Alice Through the Looking-Glass (Illustrated Edition) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Victorian Fantasy of Nonsense, Logic, and Mirror WorldsBy Lewis Carroll
Length7h 49m
About this audiobook
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass together form Lewis Carroll's great diptych of Victorian fantasy, here enriched by the visual tradition of the illustrated edition, most famously associated with John Tenniel's incisive engravings. The books follow Alice through dreamlike worlds governed by linguistic inversion, parody, mathematical wit, and social satire. Their style combines nursery-tale simplicity with philosophical instability, placing them at the crossroads of children's literature, nonsense writing, and the intellectual playfulness of the nineteenth century. Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician, logician, photographer, and Anglican deacon. His fascination with puzzles, symbolic systems, and the absurdities of polite conversation deeply shaped these works. Originally improvised for Alice Liddell and her sisters, the tales reveal Dodgson's ability to transform private storytelling into enduring literary art, where childhood imagination encounters the structures—and absurdities—of adult reason. This edition is warmly recommended to readers of all ages, but especially to those interested in how fantasy can illuminate language, logic, identity, and power. It remains essential reading: playful, unsettling, brilliantly inventive, and inexhaustibly interpretable.
