Alice Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

“Through the Looking-Glass” (Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There) is by British author Lewis Carroll and was first published in 1871. It is the second part of Alice’s adventures and continues the events of the famous novel “Alice in Wonderland”

The story follows Alice, who finds herself in front of a mirror in her room and passes through it into a parallel world full of strange and wondrous characters. In this world Alice sets off on new adventures, meeting characters such as the Red Queen and the White Queen and facing many challenges, such as a game of living chess, which ultimately becomes her path to becoming a queen

The novel is rich in symbolism and imagination, exploring themes such as identity, logic and psychological transformation with plenty of humor and strangeness. Carroll’s style relies on wordplay and riddles, making the book enjoyable for children and adults alike

“Through the Looking-Glass” is a continuation of Alice’s earlier adventures, but it stands out for its deeper treatment of questions of existence and change, and it has a more philosophical character than the first part
