Biografia dell'autore
Lewis Carroll, pseudonimo di Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, nasce a Daresbury nel 1832. Divenuto docente di matematica al Christ Church di Oxford, ha coniugato il rigore logico della sua professione accademica con una straordinaria vena creativa rivolta alla scrittura creativa. La sua produzione letteraria è stata profondamente influenzata dalla sua abilità nel manipolare la logica e dalla frequentazione dell'ambiente vittoriano. Oltre alla letteratura, si distinse per l'interesse verso la fotografia e l'enigmistica. Dodgson è scomparso a Guildford nel 1898, lasciando un'eredità culturale immensa riconosciuta a livello internazionale.
Stile di scrittura
I libri di Lewis Carroll sono celebri per l'uso magistrale del nonsense, dell'ironia sottile e di una struttura narrativa che sfida costantemente le leggi della fisica e della logica. Il suo stile si distingue per l'invenzione di neologismi e giochi di parole che rendono la lettura un esercizio intellettuale ludico. L'autore è indissolubilmente legato alla figura di Alice, protagonista iconica delle avventure nel Paese delle Meraviglie, e allo stravagante Cappellaio Matto, personaggi che attraverso il loro viaggio onirico e gli incontri assurdi hanno ridefinito le possibilità espressive della narrativa fantastica.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. Chapter One – Down the Rabbit Hole: Alice, a girl of seven years, is feeling bored and drowsy while sitting on the riverbank with her elder sister. She then notices a talking, clothed White Rabbit with a pocket watch run past. She follows it down a rabbit hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many locked doors of all sizes. She finds a small key to a door too small for her to fit through, but through it she sees an attractive garden. She then discovers a bottle on a table labelled "DRINK ME," the contents of which cause her to shrink too small to reach the key which she has left on the table. She eats a cake with "EAT ME" written on it in currants as the chapter closes. Chapter Two – The Pool of Tears: Chapter Two opens with Alice growing to such a tremendous size her head hits the ceiling. Alice is unhappy and, as she cries, her tears flood the hallway. After shrinking down again due to a fan she had picked up, Alice swims through her own tears and meets a Mouse, who is swimming as well. She tries to make small talk with him in elementary French (thinking he may be a French mouse) but her opening gambit "Où est ma chatte?" ("Where is my cat?") offends the mouse and he tries to escape her. Chapter Three – The Caucus Race and a Long Tale: The sea of tears becomes crowded with other animals and birds that have been swept away by the rising waters. Alice and the other animals convene on the bank and the question among them is how to get dry again. The Mouse gives them a very dry lecture on William the Conqueror. A Dodo decides that the best thing to dry them off would be a Caucus-Race, which consists of everyone running in a circle with no clear winner. Alice eventually frightens all the animals away, unwittingly, by talking about her (moderately ferocious) cat. Read this complete famous novel for further story....
Phantasmagoria and Other Poems. E-book. Formato EPUB Lewis Carroll - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019 -
"Phantasmagoria" is a poem written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1869 as the opening poem of a collection of verse by Carroll entitled Phantasmagoria and Other Poems. The collection was also published under the name Rhyme? And Reason? It is Lewis Carroll's longest poem. Both the poem and the collection were illustrated by A. B. Frost. "Phantasmagoria" is a narrative discussion written in seven cantos between a ghost (a Phantom) and a man named Tibbets. Carroll portrays the ghost as not so different from human beings: although ghosts may jibber and jangle their chains, they, like us, simply have a job to do and that job is to haunt. Just as in our society, in ghost society there is a hierarchy, and ghosts are answerable to the King (who must be addressed as “Your Royal Whiteness”) if they disregard the "Maxims of Behaviour”. Ghosts, our Phantom tells the narrator, fear the same things that we often fear, only sometimes in the reverse: “Allow me to remark That ghosts has just as good a right, In every way to fear the light, As men to fear the dark.” Contents Phantasmagoria -- Echoes -- A sea dirge -- Ye carpette knyghte -- Hiawatha's photographing -- Melancholetta -- A valentine -- The three voices -- Tèma con variaziòni -- A game of fives -- Poeta fit, non nascitur -- Size and tears -- Atalanta in Camden-town -- The lang coortin' -- Four riddles -- Fame's penny-trumpet.
