À propos de cet e-book

In "Rhyme? And Reason?", Lewis Carroll crafts a whimsical exploration of language and logic, intertwining playful verse with philosophical inquiry. This collection showcases Carroll's masterful use of nonsensical wordplay, witty puns, and intricate rhyme schemes, exemplifying the Victorian fascination with the absurd juxtaposed with a keen interest in logic and mathematics. Each poem invites readers into a world where meaning ebbs and flows like a tide, challenging the rigid structures of conventional poetry while deftly reflecting the era's literary experimentation. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was not only a renowned author but also a mathematician and logician whose reflections on the nature of absurdity and reason enriched his literary work. His experiences in the realms of academia and children'Äôs literature profoundly influenced his unique perspective, which melds playful imagination with intellectual inquiry. This duality invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of meaning, language, and play, mirroring Carroll's own quest for balance between the serious and the nonsensical. Readers keen on delving into the interplay of language and thought, or those who appreciate a clever twist on traditional forms, will find "Rhyme? And Reason?" an enlightening and entertaining journey. Carroll'Äôs distinctive voice will resonate with anyone intrigued by the power of words to both convey meaning and elude it, making this book a timeless gem in the canon of children'Äôs and literary nonsense.
