Description
|
|
|
|
First published in 1889, this first volume of Lewis Carroll's final novel (followed by its second volume, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, in 1893) depicts a fascinating world with two faces—the waking world of Victorian England, and the "eerie" realm of Fairyland, where dwell the fairy children Sylvie and Bruno. These are distinct realities, yet at the same time parallel in mysterious ways, so that, as the narrator drifts from one to the next, we may begin to question the nature of reality itself. Written over 20 years, and incorporating many ideas collected in that time, the book was meant by Carroll to stand as his masterpiece, and it is now recognized as an important piece of literature for all ages.
