| The full title of this work is 'Doctor Diderot's & Mister d'Alembert's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass'. Using actual pages from original publications of Diderot's famous encyclopedia, Malutzki overprints these pages with a parody modifying the original text of Lewis Carrol's classic story of Alice. In this new story Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, who, aside from being a notable mathematician, was co-editor of the encyclopedia. The wonderland into which the two men enter is the encyclopedia itself. This bookwork is profiled on Books on BooksClick here to visit |
