Este fascinante poema nos sumerge de nuevo en el fantástico mundo de Lewis Carroll, vislumbrado en el poema «Jabberwocky» de Alicia a través del espejo. Narra «con humor infinito» el viaje imposible de una tripulación improbable para hallar a una criatura inconcebible. Fue publicado por primera vez en 1876, y ahora, por fin, presentamos en castellano la edición con las ingeniosas ilustraciones, casi oníricas, de la reconocida artista finlandesa Tove Jansson, conocida por ser la creadora de los Moomins, una divertida familia de troles escandinavos.
Author
The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense. Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses. He also has works published under his real name.
