Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
BY LEWIS CARROLL, Penguin Classics, ₹250
These two small books contain a vast universe of ideas—about a child’s limitless imagination of finding friends and battling fears. About the games that rule all our lives, the mirrors that distort reality and the delights of fantasy.
Maus: A Survivor’s Tale
BY ART SPIEGELMAN, Penguin UK, ₹999
A searing representation told through drawings, of Jews living through the horror years of Nazi Germany. Most of the characters are represented as animals. This visual device heightens the pathos and suspense, whilst also providing a soft, self-deprecating humour: The Jews are mice, for instance, while the Nazis are cats.
