This new biography of Carroll by leading international authority, Edward Wakeling, presents a fresh appraisal based upon his social circle. Contrary to the claims of many previous authors, Carroll's circle was not child centred: his correspondence was enormous, numbering almost 100,000 items at the time of his death, and included royalty and many of the leading artists, illustrators, publishers, academics, musicians and composers of the Victorian era. Edward Wakeling draws upon his personal database of nearly 6,000 letters, mostly never before published, to fill the gaps left by earlier biogr

What if Immanuel Kant floated down from his transcendental heights, straight through Alice's rabbit hole, and into the fabulous world of Lewis Carroll? For Ben-Ami Scharfstein this is a wonderfully instructive scenario and the perfect way to begin this wide-ranging collection of decades of startlingly synthesized thought. Combining a deep knowledge of psychology, cultural anthropology, art history, and the history of religions-not to mention philosophy-he demonstrates again and again the unpredictability of writing and thought and how they can teach us about our experiences. Scharfstein begins with essays on the nature of philosophy itself, moving from an autobiographical account of the trials of being a comparativist to philosophy's function in the outside world to the fear of death in Kant and Hume. From there he explores an impressive array of art: from China and Japan to India and the West; from an essay on sadistic and masochistic body art to one on the epistemology of the deaf and the blind. He then returns to philosophy, writing on Machiavelli and political ruthlessness, then on the ineffable, and closes with a review of Walter Kaufmann's multivolume look at the essence of humanity, Discovering the Mind. Altogether, these essays are a testament to adventurous thought, the kind that leaps to the furthest reaches of the possible.

A l'heure où la correspondance se réinvente, devient quasiment exclusivement numérique et froide, il apparaît nécessaire de poursuivre cette bibliothèque d'un genre nouveau, ce travail mémoriel et patrimonial, débuté il y a trois ans déjà, à travers les ouvrages de la collection "L'Or des manuscrits". Et il convient de constater que lorsque la chose écrite, la lettre en l'occurence, manuscrite de préférence, vint à être illustrée, l'on se rendit bien compte que la magie existait. Si l'on imagine sans peine aucune Le Corbusier, Dali ou bien Dufy - pour ne citer qu'eux - illustrer leurs correspondances manuscrites, n'est-il pas tout à fait étonnant de découvrir Ampère ou Kipling, Charcot ou bein Darwin faire de même ; sans doute dans un souci plus didactique qu'artistique. Aussi feuilletez, découvrez, repaissez-vous de l'enchantement du monde de l'Or des manuscrits.
