Poco se podía imaginar Alicia, en aquella aburrida tarde de verano, mientras estaba tumbada en la hierba junto a su hermana, las increíbles aventuras que le esperaban.

Alicia le siguió y se cayó por un agujero y empezó a caer, a caer, a caer...

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.

As a young man, I faced many adversities while struggling to find myself through a brutal 19-year war with drug and alcohol addiction, all the while suffering from anxiety, depression, and PTSD. During that war, I was kidnapped, dodged a disturbing death on multiple occasions, suffered a minor stroke due to head trauma, and survived the internal warfare that almost ended with me taking my own life.

I was an out-of-work rugby coach who was soon to be divorced. My old dear was sliding away in a nursing home in a certain suburb of West Dublin. And my old man had brought the country to the verge of, like, nuclear annihilation. And if that wasn’t bad enough, my teenage daughter was in love again. My sister-in-law was about to give birth to a baby that was possibly mine. And Castlerock College was about to go – I can’t even say the word – co-ed.

Lewis Carroll's classic tale of nonsense and imagination, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was an immediate sensation upon its publication in 1865.

Journey to the imaginative world of Wonderland in this bundle of Alice in Wonderland books. Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass have inspired countless films, plays, and songs in over 150 years of their publication, and these stories continue to capture the imaginations of all generations.

Drawing on both a wide range of scholarship as well as his own acute searching as a believer, Carroll takes a fresh look at the most familiar narratives of all - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Not simply another book about the "historical Jesus," he takes the challenges of science and contemporary philosophy seriously, even as he retrieves the power of Jesus' profound ordinariness, as an answer to his own last question - what is the future of Jesus Christ? - as the key to a renewal of faith.
