Autorenporträt
Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, Lewis Carroll was a renowned English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Best known for his enduring works of children's fiction, notably 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871), his writings have transcended age, offering a peculiar blend of whimsy, satirical commentary on Victorian society, and linguistic dexterity. Apart from his literary endeavors, Carroll's scholarly contributions as a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, are also significant. His lesser-known yet insightful essay 'Feeding the Mind' (1907), published posthumously, delves into the importance of intellectual nourishment and cultivation of the mind, echoing the intellectual spirit that Carroll imbued in all his creative pursuits. Not merely an author of fanciful tales, Carroll possessed an adeptness for playing with logic and structure, often embedding mathematical concepts into his literary works, and thereby enticing readers into deeper layers of interpretation. His influence on both children's literature and the genre of literary nonsense is vast and persists even in contemporary literary circles. Carroll's imaginative storytelling, where logic intertwines with fantasy, continues to captivate, amuse, and provoke thought among readers, scholars, and literary aficionados worldwide.
