Über das eBook

This meticulously edited collection includes: Sylvie and Bruno; Sylvie and Bruno Concluded; Bruno's Revenge and Other Stories Sylvie and Bruno is a novel for children by Lewis Carroll published in 1889. The work evolved from his short story "Bruno's Revenge," published in 1867 in Aunt Judy's Magazine. With its sequel, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), it was his final work for children. The novel has two main plots; one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fictional world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairytale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's most famous children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel. The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze termed Sylvie and Bruno "a masterpiece which shows entirely new techniques compared to Alice and Through the Looking-Glass." Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898), was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.


Über den Autor

Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a renowned British writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Born on January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, Carroll is best known for his whimsical and fantastical children's stories. 'The Complete Sylvie and Bruno Stories' are amongst his lesser-known works but encapsulate his unique blend of literary elements, including philosophical ideas and nonsensical poetry. Carroll's most celebrated classics, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass' (1871), have left a profound impact on literature with their distinctive narrative style, language play, and exploration of logic. These works have significantly contributed to the genre of literary nonsense, a style characterized by absurdity, word play, and fantastical themes. Despite the playful surface of his writings, Carroll's works often include deep mathematical concepts and logical puzzles reflecting his academic background - he was a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford. Lewis Carroll died on January 14, 1898, but his legacy lives on through the continued popularity of his stories which have influenced not only literature but also philosophy, psychology, and pop culture. His literary artistry continues to fascinate readers, scholars, and interpreters across the world, sparking countless adaptations and analyses.
