Lewis Carroll

Carroll was one of the few adult writers to successfully enter the children's world of make-believe: where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal--real, and where the height of adventure is limited only by the depths of imagination.

The Game of Logic is a recreational activity devised by author Lewis Carroll - this edition contains all of his original and vitally demonstrative illustrations. Although Carroll is best known for his short stories and novels for children, he also harbored a great passion for mathematics and logic puzzles, which he felt held great facility for developing the minds of young and old. He designed a game of logic which attained popularity following his enormously successful stories for children. Although old fashioned and dated by today's standards, Carroll's game offers profound insight into the recreational mathematics and number games of the late 19th century. This book contains a set of detailed instructions for playing Carroll's game, which requires sheets of paper, a ruler and pencil for drawing the tables, and a set of counters. This edition contains all the diagrams and tables crucial for understanding what the author describes.

The book was first published in 1865, and since then has been translated into many languages. The first translation of this book into Yiddish was mine, completed in January 2012 (Zur-Ot Publishing House, Jerusalem). Evertype is now publishing this second corrected edition. As I was translating into Yiddish, my aim was to remain faithful to the English source, to the plot, the characters and their qualities; and mainly to retain the depth and spirit of the book. At the same time, the nonsense songs, the sayings, idioms and particularly Lewis Carroll's plays on words had to be adapted to Yiddish and to the lifestyle familiar to its readers. Since Yiddish was prevalent across Eastern Europe, there are sayings and expressions that reflect the Jewish life experience in this region in previous centuries. -- Adina Bar-El
