A crew of unlikely adventurers sets sail into the unknown, chasing a creature that may not exist and sense that may never be found. The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits is Lewis Carroll's masterstroke of nonsense literature, blending the playful absurdity of his Alice in Wonderland with the wry wit and narrative poem form beloved by Victorian era readers. Here, logic twists into laughter, and every line teases the boundaries between reason and the ridiculous. Carroll's surreal journey invites classic literature enthusiasts and Alice in Wonderland fans alike to delight in a quest for the unknown, where meaning and mystery entwine. The poem's whimsical adventure, marked by 19th century humour and the unmistakable influence of Edward Lear, has enchanted generations with its clever wordplay and evocative imagery. For those drawn to the peculiar charm of absurdity and logic, this remains a singular treasure-a work that rewards both casual readers and collectors seeking the finest in Victorian poetry. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
Autorenporträt
Charles Lutwidge Dogson, mais conhecido como Lewis Carroll (27 de janeiro de 1832 a 14 de janeiro de 1898), era o terceiro dos onze filhos de um pastor anglicano, sendo que se acostumou a contar histórias aos irmãos. Chegou a receber educação religiosa, mas seu grande interesse por álgebra, lógica e geometria fez com que se formasse com honras na universidade de Oxford, onde foi convidado a atuar como professor de matemática. Chegou a publicar alguns livros de poesia e matemática com conteúdos criativos e repletos de humor. Foi por essa época que conheceu Henry Liddell, de quem se tornaria grande amigo. Liddell era pai de Alice, garotinha que serviu de inspiração para duas das obras que ficariam conhecidas como ícones da literatura infantil: Alice no País das Maravilhas e Alice Através do Espelho.
