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.
