≡Through the Looking-Glass
In 1871, six years after the success of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll released the sequel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, a lesser-known but equally fascinating work. In this story, Alice passes through a mirror into an inverted world, full of reversed logic and surprises, where she meets characters who have become classics, such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
Another highlight of the book is the nonsense poem Jabberwocky, which showcases Carroll’s linguistic inventiveness. With invented words and fantastic imagery, the poem continues to delight readers and literary scholars alike, studied as an example of creativity and wordplay.
Although it did not achieve the immediate fame of the first book, Through the Looking-Glass solidified Carroll’s talent for combining fantasy, humor, and logic, expanding Alice’s universe with memorable characters and surprising adventures. The sequel demonstrates that the author’s imagination had no limits, offering the protagonist new worlds to explore and captivating both new and old readers.
