This book contains now several HTML tables of contents that will make reading a real pleasure!
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures.
The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, matemático, lógico y escritor británico más conocido por el seudónimo de Lewis Carroll, nació en Daresbury, Cheshire, en 1832, y murió en Guildford en 1898. Durante cerca de cuarenta años fue profesor de matemáticas en Oxford, y junto con el también lógico George Boole procedió a una axiomatización de la lógica. Pero, sin duda, lo que le ha hecho universalmente conocido son sus historias para niños, historias donde desplegó todo su talento para jugar —y hacernos reflexionar— con el absurdo, el sinsentido y la magia de algunas paradojas lógicas. Carroll, que también gustaba de fotografiar niñas, y que ha dejado una galería de ambiguos retratos infantiles, es autor de Alicia en el país de las maravillas (1865), A través del espejo (1872), La caza del Snark (1876) y Silvia y Bruno (1889).
