Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Hunting of the Snark</i> (1876) is a poem by Lewis Carroll. Filled with many of the portmanteau words developed for his poem "Jabberwocky," <i>The Hunting of the Snark</i> is a delightfully strange tale of mystery and adventure. Often read as an allegory for everything from tuberculosis to the endless quest for happiness itself, <i>The Hunting of the Snark</i>, much like the Snark itself, refuses all description. "'Just the place for a Snark!' the Bellman cried, / As he landed his crew with care; / Supporting each man on the top of the tide / By a finger entwined in his hair." Driven more by rhyme than reason, the adventure opens <i>in medias res</i>, introducing its varied crew of men and beasts of questionable use: a Boots, a Barrister, a Broker, a maker of Bonnets and Hoods, a Billiard-maker, a Banker, and, of course, a Beaver. Sailors all, they sail into the unknown. The Snark they search for may not be a Snark, could be a Boojum, and may very well be deadly. Intrepid and wisely foolish, they set out to comb the island for the Snark, armed with tricks and bribes, "smiles and soap," and all the other instruments of hope. Playful and strange, the Snark eludes us all. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lewis Carroll's <i>The Hunting of the Snark</i> is a classic work of English literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A crew of bravely foolish men sets out in search of the fabled Snark. Led by the Bellman, the ragtag gang arrives in a mysterious land. They know what to look for, but don't know how to find it. Is the Snark a vicious Boojum, or something else entirely? <i>The Hunting of the Snark</i> is a poem by Lewis Carroll.</p>
