by Lewis Carroll (Author), Juan Gedovius (Illustrator)

El viaje imposible de una tripulación improbable para hallar a una criatura inconcebible. Ahora ilustrado.

Un poema de Lewis Carroll que cuenta, en ocho actos, las aventuras de una tripulación de marineros que se embarca en la búsqueda del peligrosísimo Snark.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A poem by Lewis Carroll that tells, in eight acts, the adventures of a crew of sailors who embark on the search for the extremely dangerous Snark.

The nonsensical poem written by Lewis Carroll in 1874 and published in 1876. Describing "with infinite humor the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature".

"It's a Snark!"...for whatever else can it be?" Published on April Fools' Day in 1876, Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark remains one of the most amusing and bizarre works of modern verse. Carroll, who completed this classic poem eleven years after the publication of Alice in Wonderland, invites readers along on a fictitious hunt to determine who―or what―the Snark actually is.

Author Biography

Lewis Carroll, seudónimo de Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, nació en Daresbury, Inglaterra, en 1832. Su padre era clérigo, y él fue ordenado diácono en 1861, pero renunció a proseguir la carrera eclesiástica. Desde 1851 vivió en Christ Church, Oxford. Allí llevó una vida retirada, dedicado a la docencia de matemáticas -disciplina sobre la que escribió diversas obras bajo su nombre auténtico- y a desarrollar una fructífera labor como fotógrafo y escritor que es inseparable de su atracción hacia el mundo de las niñas. Precisamente una de sus pequeñas amigas, Alice Liddell -hija del decano de Christ Church-, le inspiró sus dos libros fundamentales: Alicia en el País de las Maravillas (1865) y A través del espejo (1871). Estas obras contienen complejos elementos de fantasía y juego lógico, parodia y sátira, y al igual que el extenso poema La caza del Snark (1876) fueron concebidas según la más viva tradición inglesa del «nonsense». Lewis Carroll dedicó los últimos años de su vida a escribir y publicar trabajos de lógica simbólica. Murió el 14 de noviembre de 1898.

Juan Gedovius (México, 1974) es escritor, músico e ilustrador de formación autodidacta. Ha realizado algunas de sus historias sólo con el lenguaje de las imágenes. Su material gráfico se diversifica en revistas, carteles, folletos, manuales, arte discográfico, museografías, libros de texto y literatura, escenografías, murales y reproducciones a gran escala. Cuenta con más de cuarenta publicaciones y numerosas exposiciones dentro y fuera del país. Gedovius ha sido galardonado con importantes premios internacionales como la Mención Especial en White Ravens y ha estado en la Lista de Honor de la International Board on Books for Young People, IBBY.
