The Hunting of the Snark: Fully Illustrated Edition
"The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll is a nonsensical poem that follows a group of eccentric characters on a fantastical expedition to find a mysterious creature known as the Snark. Structured in eight "fits," or cantos, the poem blends whimsy, wordplay, and absurd logic in the tradition of Carroll's earlier works, such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The narrative centers on the Bellman, who leads a bizarre crew-including a Baker, a Butcher, and a Beaver-across a surreal seascape and landscape in pursuit of their elusive quarry. Despite its playful tone, the poem subtly explores themes of uncertainty, the futility of human endeavor, and existential dread, culminating in a darkly ambiguous ending when one character vanishes upon encountering a particularly dangerous type of Snark: a Boojum. With its blend of humor and philosophical undertones, "The Hunting of the Snark" has intrigued readers and scholars alike, offering a rich terrain for interpretation within literary nonsense and Victorian satire. *** The Imaginarium of Lewis Carroll is a definitive collection celebrating the brilliant and whimsical literary legacy of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known to the world as Lewis Carroll. The creator of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass was far more than a children's author-he was a mathematician, logician, poet, photographer, and visionary storyteller whose works continue to enchant readers of all ages. This series gathers Carroll's most prominent and invites readers into a universe where logic dances with absurdity, language becomes a game, and imagination reigns supreme. Perfect for collectors, scholars, and dreamers alike, this series offers an enduring journey into one of literature's most curious and captivating minds.
