Book excerpt: Wisdom from Pooh Corner, Alice's Looking Glass, and Other Unlikely Places is a book for adults who like to think deep thoughts but still enjoy the stories of their youth. It digs down into some wonderful and well known stories, children's stories, and myths to unearth wisdom lessons buried within them. We mightn't think to look for messages about spiritual friendship in The Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh, about self-confidence in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, or about discouragement in Tolstoy's The Tired Swan, but there they are nevertheless, just waiting for a little imagination on your part. So come along with me and let's take a look. You'll enjoy revisiting these lovely old stories and may just learn a few things along the way, things you hadn't realized were tucked away in there!
Download or read book Through the Looking Glass written by Lewis Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adventures of Alice-named for one of the little girls to whom the book was dedicated-who journeys down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical underworld realm instantly struck a chord with the British public, and then with readers around the world. In 1872, in reaction to the universal acclaim *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* received, Dodgson published this sequel. Nothing is quite what it seems once Alice journeys through the looking-glass, and Dodgson's wit is infectious as he explores concepts of mirror imagery, time running backward, and strategies of chess-all wrapped up in the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unlikely characters. In many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today's pop culture than the first book.

Download or read book The Philosopher s Alice written by Peter Heath and published by Saint Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 1974 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Heath's insightful annotations prove that the central concern of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass' is with the bounds of sense and the limitation of reason. Heath takes the reader on a fascinating walk through the thickets of philosophical blunders, logical fallacies, conceptual confusions and linguistic breakthroughs that decorate the landscape of Alice's world. As a result, Lewis Carroll is elevated to a place alongside such eminent philosophers as Bertrand Russell and Wittgenstein.
