Lewis Carroll – Through the Looking-Glass 2006 Turkish Book Turkey Illustrated
Description:
This is the 2006 Turkish edition of Through the Looking-Glass (Alice Aynanın İçinden) by Lewis Carroll, published by Bordo Siyah Yayınları. First published in 1871 as the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the book takes Alice into another extraordinary world where familiar rules of logic, language and reality are reversed. Carroll once again combines fantasy, wordplay, humour and imaginative logic to create a uniquely surreal adventure.
In this story, Alice passes through a looking-glass and finds herself in a strange world structured like a giant chessboard. She encounters unforgettable characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen, while moving through a series of bizarre and dreamlike adventures. The story explores imagination, identity, language and logic through Carroll's characteristic playful style.
For collectors, this 2006 Bordo Siyah edition has a particularly distinctive Turkish visual identity. The book contains illustrations created by renowned Turkish artist Mustafa Delioğlu specifically for the Turkish edition, giving Carroll's fantastical world a unique local artistic interpretation. This Turkey-only artwork makes the edition especially interesting to collectors of Turkish illustration, children's literature and international editions of Lewis Carroll. The combination of Delioğlu's artwork and one of Carroll's less commonly encountered classics makes this a distinctive collectible.
