This classic nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll introduces 10 characters setting sail for the hunt of the elusive creature called the Snark. Alluding to several themes already presented in Through the Looking Glass, Carroll brilliantly builds fantastical typology on an existential foundation. The crew members hunt for the Snark like we hunt for happiness; with great passion and conviction but also some level of uncertainty regarding its actual meaning or even existence.

The plot follows a crew of 10 trying to hunt the Snark, an animal that may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum.

I due capolavori del grande scrittore e matematico Lewis Carroll, insieme e inversione integrale, da ascoltare tutta d'un fiato! Se in Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie tutto si fa gioco surreale in mezzo a personaggi dalle più strane fogge e caratteri, in Alice attraverso lo Specchio, lo schema si fa più rigoroso, mentre s'invertono letteralmente le nostre certezze. I due racconti di Carroll sono un meraviglioso omaggio al mondo incantato dei bambini e alla loro fervida fantasia, che fugge e sfugge rapida e inafferrabile, proprio come il Bianconiglio...

Es la historia de un mágico sueño. Mientras permanece sentada con su hermana en el bosque, Alicia se levanta y persigue a un conejo que se le ha aparecido. De pronto cae, en la madriguera, en medio de un montón de hojas secas. Comienza a caminar por una sala subterránea y encuentra alimentos bebidas, que consume.
