Description
“Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There” is a novel written by Lewis Carroll, which was first published in 1871. It is the sequel to his earlier work, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Like its predecessor, “Through the Looking-Glass” is a whimsical and fantastical story filled with wordplay, logic puzzles, and imaginative characters.
The story follows Alice as she steps through a looking glass (a type of mirror) into a fantastical world on the other side. Similar to Wonderland, this new world is full of nonsensical and absurd occurrences. Alice finds herself in a land where the rules of logic and reality are constantly challenged. She meets a variety of peculiar characters, such as the Red Queen, the White Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, and the White Knight, each of whom engages Alice in witty and often puzzling conversations.
Throughout her journey, Alice encounters bizarre situations and experiences, including a reversed world where she must run to stay in the same place and a game of chess in which she becomes a pawn and progresses through the ranks to become a queen. The book is known for its clever use of language and its exploration of the nature of reality, identity, and the illogical aspects of the adult world through the perspective of a child.
“Through the Looking-Glass” continues Carroll’s tradition of blending fantasy with logic and serves as a companion to his earlier work, capturing the spirit of nonsensical wonder that has made his stories beloved by readers of all ages.
