Liisan seikkailut ihmemaassa

Name: Liisan seikkailut ihmemaassa
Author: Lewis Carroll

A curious girl follows a hurried white rabbit down a hole into a surreal, dreamlike realm where ordinary rules unravel. She shrinks and grows unpredictably, encounters eccentric talking animals and anthropomorphic playing cards, and moves through a series of episodic, vignette-like encounters that foreground absurd logic and wordplay. Set pieces include an interminable tea party, a chaotic croquet match with living cards, and a farcical courtroom proceeding over missing tarts, each scene satirizing adult conventions while mimicking the fluid, often illogical shape of a child’s dream.

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician, and logician, best known for his whimsical and imaginative tales. His most famous work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865, has captivated readers with its surreal narrative and playful use of language. Carroll's unique blend of fantasy and logic is also evident in his other writings, such as "Through the Looking-Glass" and "A Tangled Tale." Beyond fiction, he contributed to the fields of mathematics and photography, leaving a lasting impact on both literature and academia. His works continue to inspire adaptations and interpretations across various media.
