A través del Espejo
A través del Espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí puede parecer una obra disparatada, tal vez más que su primera parte, Las aventuras de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas. Incluso su lectura podría marear un poco al principio, pero esta historia tan descabellada va cobrando cierto sentido cuando vislumbramos —como bien escribió Jorge Luis Borges— que entraña «el secreto rigor del ajedrez», así como el primer libro encerró el de la baraja. Aun yendo más a fondo, el sentido se nos revela al fin cuando entrevemos que gran parte de los acontecimientos que aquí ocurren, se nos manifiestan como reflejados en un espejo. Quedan cordialmente invitados a explorar ese mundo del Espejo, un mundo de sueños. Esos sueños que, en palabras de Borges, «forman parte de nuestra felicidad».

The Hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll.

The plot follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, an animal which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum; the only one of the crew to find the Snark quickly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that it was a Boojum after all. Henry Holiday illustrated the poem, and the poem is dedicated to Gertrude Chataway, whom Carroll met as a young girl at the English seaside town Sandown in the Isle of Wight in 1875.

The Collected Short Stories of Lewis Carroll
This carefully crafted ebook: «The Collected Short Stories of Lewis Carroll» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Table of Contents: A Tangled Tale Bruno's Revenge and Other Stories What the Tortoise Said to Achilles A Tangled Tale is a collection of ten brief humorous stories by Lewis Carroll, published serially between April 1880 and March 1885.The stories, or Knots as Carroll calls them, present mathematical problems. In a later issue, Carroll gives the solution to a Knot and discusses readers' answers. The mathematical interpretations of the Knots are not always straightforward. The ribbing of readers answering wrongly – giving their names – was not always well received. Short story «Bruno's Revenge» was originally published in 1867. Some years later, in 1873 or 1874, Carroll had the idea to use this piece as the core for a longer story. Much of the rest of the novel he compiled from notes of ideas and dialogue which he had collected over the years. What the Tortoise Said to Achilles, written by Lewis Carroll in 1895 for the philosophical journal Mind, is a brief dialogue which problematises the foundations of logic. The title alludes to one of Zeno's paradoxes of motion, in which Achilles could never overtake the tortoise in a race. In Carroll's dialogue, the tortoise challenges Achilles to use the force of logic to make him accept the conclusion of a simple deductive argument. Ultimately, Achilles fails, because the clever tortoise leads him into an infinite regression.

This carefully crafted ebook: «Selected Mathematical Works: Symbolic Logic + The Game of Logic + Feeding the Mind» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Lewis Carroll wrote several mathematics books. He was mainly interested in using logic diagrams as a pedagogical tool. Symbolic Logic, first published in 1896, contains literally dozens of puzzles. He believed heartily that children would enjoy learning mathematics if they could be enticed by amusing stories and puzzles. The Game of Logic, published in 1897, was intended to teach logic to children. His «game» consisted of a card with two diagrams, together with a set of counters, five grey and four red. The two diagrams were Carroll's version of a two-set and a three-set Venn diagram. A manuscript of a brief lecture Lewis Carroll once gave, Feeding the Mind, discusses the importance of not only feeding the body, but also the mind. Carroll wittily puts forth connections between the diet of the body and mind, and gives helpful tips on how to best digest knowledge in the brain. This essay was originally printed in 1907. Lewis Carroll ((1832-1898) is best known as the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. His real name was Charles Dodgson.

The Complete Sylvie and Bruno Stories With Their Original Illustrations
This carefully crafted ebook: «The Complete Sylvie and Bruno Stories With Their Original Illustrations» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Table of Contents: Sylvie and Bruno Sylvie and Bruno Concluded Bruno's Revenge and Other Stories Sylvie and Bruno is a novel for children by Lewis Carroll published in 1889. The work evolved from his short story «Bruno's Revenge,» published in 1867 in Aunt Judy's Magazine. With its sequel, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), it was his final work for children. The novel has two main plots; one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fictional world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairytale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's most famous children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel. The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze termed Sylvie and Bruno «a masterpiece which shows entirely new techniques compared to Alice and Through the Looking-Glass.» Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898), was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.
