Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

Stacked Prose Edition

Beschreibung

These adaptations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are faithful to Lewis Carroll's original text except this edition is in the stacked prose format instead of being boxed in paragraphs. The pages are divided into two columns of text and the lines are short and often divided by punctuation such as a comma, period, or question mark, etc., which can make for fast and easy reading. This stacked prose format adaptation breaks up lines of text in the way you would read them aloud and is ideal for speed reading, reading aloud, and dramatic reading. Empty lines are inserted instead of paragraph indents. This adaptation makes the story easy to read without the hyphenation of words at the ends of lines. The human eye may get tired reading across a wide line of text, but when lines are short, the reading can be faster. Younger readers may enjoy this adaptation because it is easier to understand. Stacked prose is easier to read than normal prose because it is structured more like people talk.

Autor

Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson in 1832, was a brilliant Victorian-era scholar and mathematician who lectured at Christ Church, Oxford. His passion for logic and puzzles is reflected in his famous works Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, where he masterfully blended fantasy with precise wordplay. These imaginative tales became timeless classics due to their unique combination of whimsy and mathematical logic. Carroll's ability to craft intricate, playful worlds has ensured his enduring place in literary history.Carroll's close bond with the Liddell family, especially young Alice Liddell, played a significant role in shaping his writing. During a boating trip with the Liddells in 1862, he first conceived the story that would become Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With encouragement from Alice, Carroll expanded the tale into a full novel, published in 1865, which became an immediate success. The sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, further established Carroll as a leading figure in children's literature, celebrated for his fantastical characters and clever use of nonsensical language.Beyond literature, Carroll was a skilled photographer, particularly known for his portraits of children, which captured the innocence and imagination of the Victorian age. His talents extended to mathematics, and his contributions in both fields have solidified his reputation as a true Renaissance man. Carroll's work has inspired generations of readers, and his influence continues to resonate in literature and culture today. Despite his often private and complex life, his imaginative legacy remains profound and far-reaching.
