Summary
In Lewis Carroll's fantasy world, nonsense seems as meaningful as the words in a whole dictionary. And who can even say what nonsense is? If we follow Alice in her journey in Through the Looking Glass, we will be convinced that the more interesting world is the world of the fantasy. And sometimes seeming nonsense is one step closer to the invention. But is that so? "If so, it could be, if not - then it is not." This is the logic of the Through the Looking Glass. And which side of the mirror are we on?
“Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did Gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the momeraths outgrabe”
Alice!.... And it all starts over.
