Master of gibberish Lewis Carroll brings his inventive style of writing to life once more in the collection "Jabberwocky and Other Poems." Though most famous for his creation of Wonderland and Alice's fall into the uncanny world of the nonsensical, Carroll used his wordsmithing ability to form inventive rhymes and lexicons in this collection. Words like "bandersnatch," "chortled," "tulgey," and even "Jabberwocky" are inventions of Carroll's mind....

They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank—the birds with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable. All of them were covered in Alice's now cold and congealed blood, which made them even tastier looking to poor hungry Alice.
When little Alice follows the Black Rat down into the gaping darkness of an open grave, she falls and falls. And soon

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....

Carroll was a mathematician at heart; he deeply loved and was fascinated by the subject. At first it may seem odd that a creator of such nonsensical writings would have such an interest in this area, although the logic involved...
