Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Alice Through the Looking-Glass Alice in Wonderland - Illustrated

Lewis Carroll

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel "Alice Through the Looking-Glass" represent an extraordinary confluence of whimsy, philosophy, and the absurd. Set within a fantastical framework that transcends conventional narrative structures, Carroll employs playful language, puns, and vivid imagery to challenge the very principles of logic and reason. These tales introduce readers to surreal characters—the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Red Queen—who invite both children and adults to reflect on identity, time, and transformation against the backdrop of a whimsical yet nonsensical universe. This unique literary approach, rooted in the Victorian era, also reflects the period's cultural exploration of childhood and imagination. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, was a mathematician, logician, and a photographer, with a profound affinity for language and storytelling. His mathematical training and keen interest in paradoxes deeply influenced his writing. The creation of Alice, inspired by real-life Alice Liddell, was not only a playful narrative venture but also reflected Carroll's deep-seated desire to articulate the complexities of the human mind through a childlike perspective, thus bridging the realms of rationality and absurdity. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking-Glass" are essential reads for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and philosophy. Carroll's tales enchant through their imaginative landscapes while encouraging a profound inquiry into the nature of reality and perception. This duality makes the texts timeless treasures, appealing to all ages and ensuring their place as a cornerstone of English literature.

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, Three of the most important religions in western culture stem from the same original text. In today’s world, many of their branches are didactic and rule-bound, treating their holy texts as technical manuals rather than food for thought. 
Presented herein is the other side of their faiths, which focuses on the personal and lived experience of the divine. Each of these texts explores the increasingly experiential and personal experience of divinity, in sharp contrast to the mainstream faith’s increasing structure and organisation over the last two millennia. 
The four works trace an evolution of mystical trends:Hillel the Elder (110 BCE-10 CE) – a description of a deep theological thinker whose understanding of the practice of divine experience in the world still resonates today.The Niche For Lights (c.1000 CE) – an exploration trying to tie spiritual and scientific investigation together through a shared symbolic language.The Cloud of Unknowing (c. 1350 CE) – An attempt to dispel the veil or cloud that blocks us from seeing what’s underneath the surface of reality.The Forerunner and the Madman (1918 CE) – a book of poetry by Kahlil Gibran, focusing on the nature of transcendent experience through metaphor.

Cold War Presidents The: The...

Editors Charles River

Among America’s presidents, Harry Truman’s presidency produced some of the nation’s most crucial decisions and left one of the nation’s most unique legacies. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. 
Despite being one of America’s oldest presidents, Eisenhower redefined the public relations nature of the office, in addition to positioning America during the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. But Eisenhower’s most lasting contribution as president was the construction of the interstate highway system, and it was in the final year of his presidency that his administration planned and implemented the Apollo space program that would land men on the Moon in 1969.  
In 1961, Kennedy made it seem like anything was possible, and Americans were eager to believe him. The Kennedy years were fondly and famously labeled “Camelot,” by Jackie herself, suggesting an almost mythical quality about the young President and his family. 
Of all the politicians who have left their mark on American history, few have had a political career or list of accomplishments and accolades that can even come close to rivaling Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson is one of only 4 Americans to serve as a House Rep, U.S. Senator, Vice President and President, and he made the most out of each experience.  
The 70+ year old former actor Ronald Reagan went on to have one of the most consequential presidencies of the 20th century, unquestionably making him one of the most influential men of the last 50 years. And his name is still as relevant in American politics today, with every politician with an R next to his or her name trying to claim Ronald Reagan’s conservative mantle.
