Most readers will at some point come acr 1 the work of Lewis Caroll. However, few realise that this was in fact a pen n 2 . The author’s real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
He is best reme 3 for his story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its seq 4 Through the Looking-Glass, both of which are children's books that have often appe 5 as much to adult readers as to the yo 6 .
The first story was pub 7 in 1865 with a part 8 child in mind, Alice Liddell. She was the daughter of an acq 9 nce of Dodgson. The story init 10 ly had the working title Alice's Adventures Under Ground. As befits that ti 11 , the tale is indeed of a trip beneath normal existence.
Alice follows a certain White Rabbit down from the riverside in a dream. This alternate rea 12 follows its own internal logic and is, therefore, not merely an excuse for fantasy.
This logic is played out by now well-known char 13 rs such as the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat and the March Hare, whose tea parties and games have taken their place in the folkl 14 of the real world through gene 15 s of readers.
The story has no moral dimension to speak of and is, therefore, unusual for ninet 16 century children's lite 17 . However, it does extol caution and other common se 18 values through its depiction of the often fool 19 choices made by Alice.
The work’s pop 20 y among adults has led to it being translated into numerous lan 21 es, including Latin. Even today, there are many societies and book clubs around the world dedi 22 to the promotion and enjoyment of Dodgson’s work. Some critics believe that his writing has had a pro 23 d impact on many aspects of mo 24 n culture.
First a subterranean sob rocked the cotton fields, curling them like waves of foam. Geologists had set up their seismographs weeks before and knew that the mou 25 n had awakened again. For some time they had pre 26 d that the heat of the erup 27 could detach the eternal ice from the slopes of the volcano, but no one heeded their war 28 s; they sounded like the tales of frig 29 d old women.
The towns in the valley went about their daily lives, deaf to the moaning of the earth, until that fateful We 30 ay night in November when a prolonged roar ann 31 d the end of the world, and walls of snow broke loose, rolling in an avalan 32 of clay, stones, and water that descended on the villages and bu 33 them beneath unfathomable meters of telluric vomit.
As soon as the sur 34 s emerged from the paralysis of that first awful terror, they could see that houses, plazas, churches, white cotton plantations, dark coffee forests, cat 35 pastures - all had disappeared. Much later, after soldiers and volu 36 s had arrived to rescue the living and try to assess the mag 37 de of the cataclysm, it was calculated that beneath the mud lay more than twenty tho 38 d human beings and an indefinite number of animals putrefying in a viscous soup. Forests and rivers had also been swept away, and there was no 39 g to be seen but an imm 40 e desert of mire.
When the station called before dawn, I was still as 41 p. I crawled out of bed, dazed and drowsy, and went to prepare black co 42 e. Then I stuffed my gear into the green canvas backpack I always car 43 d, and headed out the do 44.
