Beschreibung zu „The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits“

"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits" is a poem by the English writer Lewis Carroll, which is typically categorized as a nonsense poem. The poem, created for Carol's child-friend Gertrude Chataway, tells about a team of ten sailors trying to hunt the Snark, a creature that may turn out to be a highly dangerous mythical creature, Boojum. The team is doomed for risks and adventures, but they finally manage to succeed. It's a light yet philosophic story, able to captivate the attention of readers of any age.
