Lewis Carroll and His Literary Success
Lewis Carroll was an unusual man who led three lives. One was the life of a mathematics don1 at Oxford University. He loved the subject he taught but his students found him humourless and dry. In his second life he was a child photographer. But he is best remembered as the author of the wonderful book that is read and enjoyed by children and grown ups all over the world. The title of the book is “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”.
It happened in July 1862. A 30-year-old Oxford don, the Reverend2 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (that is Lewis Carroll’s real name) took out a boat and together with his friend Robinson Duckworth and his three daughters had a river trip. They took tea on the river bank before returning. It was not an unusual event in itself. But the result of that journey was most unusual. Because during this journey Dodgson told the story that so interested one of the little girls, Alice by name, that she asked Dodg-son to write it down for her. Thus Dodgson created one of the best loved and most interesting children’s books under the pen-name Lewis Carroll. This pen-name came from his first two names and latinizing them, “Lutwidge... Ludwidge... Ludovic — Louis and Charles...”
The book had a great success. As soon as it was published, it became very popular. Together 180,000 copies were sold during Dodgson’s lifetime. Nowadays it is difficult to find a child who doesn’t know the book and its characters.
As a famous writer Lewis Carroll had a lot of friends. Whenever he was invited to their parties, he entertained children with stories, games and puzzles [taskpAzalz]. But though he had friends he was rather lonely.
Lewis Carroll died on 14 January 1898. It was an attack of bronchitis that turned out to be fatal.
