Lewis Carroll – Through the Looking-Glass 1961 Turkish Book Turkey Illustrated
Description:
This is the 1961 Turkish edition of Through the Looking-Glass (Aynalar Dünyası) by Lewis Carroll, published by Varlık Yayınları. First published in 1871 as the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the book takes Alice into another extraordinary world where everything seems to operate according to its own strange rules. Carroll once again combines fantasy, wordplay, humour and imaginative logic to create a uniquely surreal reading experience.
In this adventure, Alice passes through the looking-glass into a world that resembles a giant chessboard, where familiar things appear strangely reversed. Along the way she encounters characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen, while attempting to move across the chessboard and become a queen herself. The story is filled with riddles, impossible conversations, playful language and situations where logic itself seems to have been turned upside down.
For collectors, this 1961 Varlık Yayınları edition is especially interesting as an early Turkish edition of Carroll's important follow-up to Alice in Wonderland. The presence of illustrations throughout the book adds further appeal, giving this early Turkish publication an important visual dimension. For collectors of Lewis Carroll, vintage Turkish children's literature, illustrated classics and early Turkish editions of Alice-related works, this is a charming period collectible and a much less commonly encountered title than Alice in Wonderland itself.
