Об авторе

Lewis Carroll, the celebrated Victorian-era author renowned for his playful use of language and fantasy, was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. An accomplished mathematician and logician, Carroll taught at Christ Church, Oxford, where his pioneering spirit in both literature and mathematics left a profound legacy. He is best known for ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ (1865), a seminal work that has shaped children’s literature, and its less-known precursor, ‘Alice’s Adventures Under Ground’ (1886). Carroll’s writing is characterized by its witty wordplay, surreal characters, and subversion of logic, which has intrigued readers and critics alike. His creative genius produced a narrative structure that reflected his mathematical interests, as well as a penchant for satirizing social conventions of his time. Carroll’s influence extends beyond literature into various aspects of art and popular culture, making him one of the most referenced authors in the western literary canon. Although his life was surrounded by controversy, including speculation about his relationships with young girls, his work continues to be celebrated for its imaginative brilliance and whimsical charm.
