Lewis Carroll – Through the Looking-Glass 2012 Turkish Book Turkey Illustrated
Description:
This is the 2012 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 turned upside down. Carroll once again combines fantasy, humour, wordplay and imaginative logic to create a wonderfully surreal adventure.
In this story, Alice passes through a looking-glass and finds herself in a strange world arranged like a giant chessboard. Along the way she encounters unforgettable characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the Red Queen. Her journey is filled with riddles, strange conversations and impossible situations, while the chessboard becomes a metaphorical path toward Alice's goal of becoming a queen.
For collectors, this 2012 Bordo Siyah edition has a particularly distinctive Turkish visual identity. The book features illustrations by renowned Turkish artist Mustafa Delioğlu, giving Carroll's fantastical world a unique local artistic interpretation. This Turkey-only artwork makes the edition especially appealing to collectors of Turkish illustration, children's literature and Lewis Carroll editions. The combination of Delioğlu's distinctive artwork and one of Carroll's most celebrated works makes this a particularly attractive collectible.
