It may seem that this book has two heroes. One is a graduate of Oxford, a pious clergyman, a pedant who reads the sermons and boring lectures in mathematics, who was fond of photography as a curator of the college club engaged in replenishing the wine cellar and monitoring the quality of dishes, which developed a methodology for calculating the rating of players in tennis and thinking about the optimization of parliamentary elections. Another is a master of paradoxes, an inventive and cheerful storyteller who sincerely loved his little listeners, one of the most famous authors of literary fairy tales, returning readers to the world of childhood.
How did the respectable teacher of mathematics Charles Latvidge Dodgson turn into the writer of Lewis Carroll? Why was his only foreign trip to Russia? What did he spend considerable fees on? What did the girl Alice mean to him, who became the heroine of his fabulous dilogy? These questions are answered by the book of Nina Demurova, a wonderful translator who, half a century ago, opened the wonderful country of the heroes of Carroll.
