Through the Looking-Glass is a novel by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), and is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Set some six months later than the earlier book, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Through the Looking-Glass includes such celebrated verses as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The mirror which inspired Carroll remains displayed in Charlton Kings. The characters of Hatta and Haigha (pronounced as the English would have said "hatter" and "hare") make an appearance, and are pictured (by Sir John Tenniel, not by Carroll) to resemble their Wonderland counterparts, the Hatter and the March Hare. However, Alice does not recognise them as such. Dinah, Alice's cat, also makes a return – this time with her two kittens, Kitty (the black one) and Snowdrop (the white one). At the end of the book they are associated with the Red Queen and the White Queen respectively in the looking-glass world. Though she does not appear, Alice's sister is mentioned. In both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, there are puns and quips about two non-existing characters, Nobody and Somebody. Paradoxically, the gnat calls Alice an old friend, though it was never introduced in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Lewis Carroll

Autor

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dogson; 1832-1898) Lógico, matemático, fotógrafo y novelista británico. Tras licenciarse en el Christ Church (1854), empezó a trabajar como docente y a colaborar en revistas cómicas y literarias, adoptando el seudónimo por el que sería universalmente conocido. Escribió dos de las más entrañables narraciones que se han producido en el campo de la literatura. Vivió 66 años tan tranquilamente como puede hacerlo cualquier otro hombre, y el trabajo y ocupación de su vida, así como su diversión favorita, fueron las matemáticas. Padeció de insomnios durante toda su existencia, y pasaba noches enteras despierto, con los arduos problemas matemáticos dando vueltas en su cabeza, y tratando de descifrarlos. Escribió también poesía, campo en el que destaca en su producción el poema narrativo "La caza del snark", plagado también de elementos fantásticos. Además de diversos textos matemáticos, fue autor de trabajos dedicados a la lógica simbólica, con el propósito explícito de popularizarla, en los cuales apunta su inclinación por explorar los límites y las contradicciones de los principios aceptados.
