Résumé

"Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is a sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," continuing the whimsical adventures of Alice. The narrative begins with Alice interacting with her kittens and contemplating the world beyond the looking-glass. She soon finds herself stepping through the mirror into a fantastical realm where everything is reversed. The story unfolds as a giant chess game, with Alice taking on the role of a pawn. Her journey is marked by encounters with peculiar characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Red Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. Each character presents Alice with riddles and challenges, reflecting the nonsensical and playful nature of Carroll's world. The narrative is interspersed with poems, including the famous "Jabberwocky," which adds to the surreal atmosphere. As Alice navigates through the chessboard-like landscape, she experiences a series of bizarre and humorous events, ultimately reaching the eighth square where she becomes a queen. The story concludes with Alice waking up, leaving readers to ponder whether her adventures were merely a dream.

L'auteur - Lewis Carroll

Charles Dodgson qui prendra comme nom de plume Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) incarne aisément l'image type du gentleman victorien. Néanmoins, bien qu'acteur de la modernité de son temps, par l'originalité de son oeuvre, il se distingue des grands courants artistiques contemporains. À cela plusieurs raisons mais ne peut-on voir là l'expression de sa personnalité multiple : à la fois professeur, mathématicien, logicien, photographe et... écrivain
