Through the Looking-Glass
USD $ 4,99
Complete and unabridged, with 20 full-page plates by Charles Towne, John Constable and William Weir. Alice climbs through the drawing-room mirror into a country laid out as a chessboard, where she must cross six squares to be made a queen. Carroll built the plot on an actual chess problem and printed the moves at the front; the poem Alice can read only in a mirror is "Jabberwocky", the most quoted nonsense in English. Everything here runs backwards — memory, motion, argument — and the closing question, of whose dream it all was, Carroll left standing. Twenty paintings by Hammershøi and Weir follow the story's looking-glass logic, from mirrored interiors to farmyards where horses and cattle stand as if seen through the glass.
