Biografía del autor

x{0026}lt;P x{0026}lt;B Lewis Carrollx{0026}lt;/B , seudónimo de Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, nació en Daresbury, Inglaterra, en 1832. Su padre era clérigo, y él fue ordenado diácono en 1861, pero renunció a proseguir la carrera eclesiástica. Desde 1851 vivió en Christ Church, Oxford. Allí llevó una vida retirada, dedicado a la docencia de matemáticas -disciplina sobre la que escribió diversas obras bajo su nombre auténtico- y a desarrollar una fructífera labor como fotógrafo y escritor que es inseparable de su atracción hacia el mundo de las niñas. Precisamente una de sus pequeñas amigas, Alice Liddell -hija del decano de Christ Church-, le inspiró sus dos libros fundamentales: x{0026}lt;I Alicia en el País de las Maravillasx{0026}lt;/I (1865) y x{0026}lt;I A través del espejox{0026}lt;/I (1871). Estas obras contienen complejos elementos de fantasía y juego lógico, parodia y sátira, y al igual que el extenso poema x{0026}lt;I La caza del Snarkx{0026}lt;/I (1876) fueron concebidas según la más viva tradición inglesa del nonsense . Lewis Carroll dedicó los últimos años de su vida a escribir y publicar trabajos de lógica simbólica. Murió el 14 de noviembre de 1898.x{0026}lt;/P
