Food for brain

“Food for the mind should be as useful as the food for the body,” says the famous British writer, mathematician, philosopher, photographer, author of Alice in Wonderland Lewis Carroll. And it is difficult to disagree with this statement. After all, without food, our mind will quickly grunt. True, excessive overeating and absorption of information also does not bear any benefit.
In the collection of articles and an essay called "Food for the mind, the writer in his unique aphoristic manner reflects on different topics: from jesting ideas about how to write letters and behave on dinner parties (" Practice of eating soup with a fork, With the simultaneous whispering of the hostess in the ear that you had a spoon for a beefstead, completely out of use ") to serious thoughts that there is good and evil, about raising children and the place of the theater in human life. The publication also includes fragments of "Diary of Traveling to Russia", which Lewis Carroll performed in 1867
