"Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is a mid-19th century novel that tells the story of Alice's remarkable journey into a bizarre, mirrored world filled with talking chess pieces and living flowers. Alice, starting in her own home, steps through a looking glass and into a world that defies logic, encountering strange characters like the White Queen and finding herself in absurd situations. The story follows her quest to navigate this nonsensical, chessboard-like land and become a queen, exploring themes of identity and reality through playful conversations and imaginative adventures under unusual rules.
