Author

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 Jan. 1832 – 14 Jan. 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, poet, mathematician and photographer. His most notable works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass (1871).

Themes

Childhood and Adulthood: Alice’s experiences is a kind of exaggerated metaphor for the experience of growing up, both physically growing up and coming to understand the world of adults and how that world differs from a child's expectation of it. Dreams and Reality: Alice in Wonderland is a dream world, full of curiousness, confusion and talking animals. Everything is a little off. Words and Meaning: Wordplay makes Wonderland what it is. The moment Alice descends into the rabbit hole world, she starts questioning everything the world above takes for granted, including and especially language. The Nature of Being: Alice’s world is a philosophical puzzle. Even though she is just a child, Alice thinks and reflects deeply and comes up with some very existential problems.

Summary

A young girl named Alice sits beside her sister on a bank when all of a sudden a White Rabbit rushes past her, talking to himself about how late he is. Alice instinctively follows him down a rabbit hole. She falls and falls. Time and gravity seem to stop, so that she can explore the shelves and objects on the walls of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, she finds herself in a long hall, surrounded by locked doors of all sizes. She finds a key, which opens the tiniest door of all, but she is too big to fit through into the idyllic garden inside... This is how the story begins.
