LEWIS CARROL Charles L. Dodgson, better know as Lewis Carroll. He was born in 1832 in the the United Kingdom. He was a British Logician, mathematician, photographer and novelist. After graduating from Christ Church (1854), he began working as a teacher and collaborating in comic and literaty magazines, adopting the pseudonym by which he would be universally known. In 1857 he obtained a position as a mathematics teacher, and a four years later he was ordained a deacon. In 1862, in the course of one of his regular walks with little Alice Liddell and her two sisters, daughters of the Dean of Christ Church, Lewis Carroll told them a fantastic story, "Alice's Subterranean Adventures." The book was published in 1865, under the title Alice in Wonderland; he paid for the edition, which was a bestseller and received unanimous critical acclaim, factors that prompted Carroll to write a sequel, entitled Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There (1871). The peculiar combination of fantasy, absurdity and absurdity, together with incisive logical and mathematical paradoxes, allowed the works to become both classics of children's literature and intelligent moral satires, full of philosophical and logical notes, although naturally for an adult and attentive audience. Lewis Carroll also wrote poetry, a field in which the narrative poem The Hunt for the Snark, also full of fantastic elements, stands out in his production. In addition to several mathematical texts, he was the author of works dedicated to symbolic logic, with the explicit purpose of popularizing it, in which he points out his inclination to explore the limits and contradictions of accepted principles.
