Alice, who is bored, falls asleep in a chair and dream that it happens on the other side of the mirror of the show. The mirror of the world is both the English countryside, a chessboard, and the upside down world, where you have to run very fast to stay put. Alice came across chess pieces (queen, knight) and characters of children's culture of the Victorian era. One finds in this novel the mix of poetry, humor and nonsense that makes the charm of Lewis Carroll. It is better to know the basic rules of chess to appreciate the subtleties of the novel. Biography Lutwidge Dodgson Charles (better known as Lewis Carroll pseudonym) is a novelist, essayist, photographer and British math professor born January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, and died January 14, 1898 in Guildford. professor of logic at Christ Church College in Oxford, Lewis Carroll was ordained deacon of the Anglican Church in 1861 but never became a priest by the suite1. He published under his real name of algebra and mathematical logic works and collections of puzzles and word games. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1866) was originally written to amuse Alice Liddell and her two sisters, daughters of the Dean of Christ Church. Following the adventures of Alice, Through the Looking-Glass appeared in 1872, and The Hunting of the Snark, long parodic poem, in 1876. They were illustrated by John Tenniel.
