Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll

The novel is, on its surface, a tale of childhood adventures. But beneath it pulses something far stranger: a philosophical exploration of identity, logic, and language, disguised as a dream. Each character Alice encounters represents a different form of nonsense — the Hatter trapped in circular time, the Queen whose justice precedes the verdict, the Caterpillar who demands definition from someone who does not yet know who she is.
