"Hunting for a backwater" - an absurd, fun poem in eight parts about an incredible team that went in search of an unimaginable creature - a background. Who is Snark? Why do the names of all team members begin with the letter "B"? And why do everyone seek to catch a squirrel so much? For more than a hundred years, readers have been looking for answers to these questions. Maybe you will succeed?
Carroll himself wrote: I personally like it most of all when the backbone is considered an allegory of pursuit of happiness.
Carroll"s heroes performed by peak are living and cunning, stubbornly going to the goal.
The book contains a collection of sketches of the peak to "Hunting for the Snark", which shows the skill of this unique artist and the process of creating illustrations.
