LITERARY WONDERLANDS

ISBN: 978-1-911130-34-5

A Journey Through the Greatest Fictional Worlds Ever Created

Four-colour illustrations

Lovingly researched and beautifully produced, Literary Wonderlands explores the timeless, captivating features of literature’s most facinating fictional worlds and the minds that created them. The book delves into almost 100 imaginary realms from the world’s finest literary works, including C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia to Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials. • International in breadth and scope, covering genres from mythology to 21st-century epics, literary allegory to pulp fiction

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) A classic of nonsense fantasy and the curiosities it contains – a rabbit with a pocket watches, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the tyrannical Queen of Hearts – it has enchanted readers, young and old, for more than 150 years.

First published by Macmillan and Co. in 1865. A stickler for perfection, the book’s original illustrator, John Tenniel, insisted the first edition of two thousand copies be pulped because his exquisite designs were imperfectly reproduced.

Opposite: ‘“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”’ Alice meets the grinning Cheshire Cat in an illustration after Tenniel.

Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a mathematics don at Christ Church College in Oxford, and he famously wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland for a colleague’s three little girls: Ina, Alice and Edith Liddell, whom he used to take on outings on summer days to the river. He would entertain them by ‘telling them stories’, and luckily for the Liddell girls, he was one of the greatest (if strangest) storytellers of all time. A novelist friend of Dodgson, Henry Kingsley (brother of Charles, author of The Water-Babies, 1863, page 80), read the story and was of the opinion that Alice should be given to the world at large, urging Dodgson to have it published. The unworldly Dodgson first thought of Oxford University Press, but the house rejected the manuscript as not suitable for their learned list, and further it was intimated that it would do him no good academically to publish such a work under his own name. Eventually Dodgson was persuaded to submit the work to Macmillan and Co., Kingsley’s publisher, with illustrations by John Tenniel. Dodgson came up with a pen name that suited him and his witty tale, ‘Lewis Carroll’. It was a pun, inevitably – and one that his colleagues at the high table at Christ Church College doubtless had a high time puzzling out (Lewis is etymologically linked, via Latin, to ‘Lutwidge’; Carroll, likewise, to ‘Charles’). The two ‘Alice books’ (the successor to the bestselling adventures in ‘Wonderland’ took the little girl Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There) are unusual among children’s literature in appealing equally to adult readers. Ideally, clever adults, who are able to appreciate the depth of Carroll’s intellectualism embedded in his writing. The tale begins with Alice lolling under a tree in high summer and failing to read her book, when she sees a white rabbit rush by: There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late’ (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite

Wu Ming-Yi

The Man with the Compound Eyes (2011) A folk-inspired fantasy parallels hard political and ecological realities in a tale of a boy determined to defy his destiny.

The Man with the Compound Eyes was first published in Taiwan in 2011 by Summer Festival. The above edition was published by ThinKingdom (2016). In Taiwan, Wu Ming-Yi is also well known for his non-fiction books on butterflies, The Book of Lost Butterflies (2000) and The Dao of Butterflies (2003), which he also designed and illustrated.

302

Wu Ming-Yi (b.1971) is a man of many talents, turning his creative attention variously to writing, painting and photography. Professionally he is no less multifaceted: he lectures in literature and creative writing at National Dong Hwa University in Hualien County, Taiwan, publishes on lepidoptery and tirelessly raises awareness as an environmental activist. And it is this commitment to ecology that informs his metafictional parable, The Man with the Compound Eyes (first published in Mandarin in 2011, and in its English translation in 2013), an environmental-disaster novel set in the near future on the island of Taiwan. Like Haruki Murakami (page 298) and David Mitchell (page 288), Wu combines hard facts and richly detailed fantasy. As author and critic Tash Aw observes, his story hovers ‘over the precipice of wild imagination before retreating to minutiae about Taiwanese fauna or whale-hunting’. The environmental disaster depicted is anthropogenic and all too realistic. Discarded plastic swirling around in the Great Pacific Trash Vortex – an enormous gyre of sludge and debris that is hard to map, but that conservative estimates have placed at more than 270,000 square miles wide – forms a giant, floating trash mountain that crashes into Taiwan’s east coast, ruining hundreds of miles of shoreline. Two of the clean-up volunteers, Dahu and Hafay, are indigenous islanders. They relearn how to live an off-the-grid, no-garbage lifestyle and teach it to others, including Detlev, a German geologist, and his friend Sara, a Norwegian marine biologist studying the ecological impact of the trash tsunami. In this way, the storylines of the individual protagonists tangle together into a narrative of collective environmental action. The imaginary and real are also bound together by the disaster, entwining Atile’i, a denizen of an imaginary Polynesian atoll called Wayo Wayo, into the story, too. Wayo Wayo is so resource-poor that the islanders have had to impose a drastic restriction on family size, and all second sons, like Atile’i, are sent into the sea as sacrifices to the Sea God at fifteen years of age. Atile’i, however, is determined to defy his destiny and become the first to survive the cull. Soon after he departs his island home, he sights a pod of whales, avatars

of the spirits of all the second sons who have perished at sea. But instead of joining them, Atile’i becomes caught up on the floating trash mountain, and the sea soon hurls him, along with tons of refuse, onto Taiwan’s eastern shore. There, he meets Alice, who takes him on a trip to the mountains, where she believes her Danish husband Thom and son Toto went missing on a rock-climbing and insect-gathering expedition. What happened to Thom and Toto? It seems only the ‘Man with the Compound Eyes’ knows, a persona the reader only learns about through a reported conversation between Thom and the man himself as the former lies dying at the base of a cliff. The Man with the Compound Eyes can be understood as a symbol of individual points of view contained within a collective perspective. Like an insect’s, the man’s eyes are composed of ommatidia forming a kind of video mosaic, and creating a transcendent image of nature. The Man with the Compound Eyes exists to encourage the reader to step outside him or herself and see the world through non-human eyes.

Covering a diverse range of media – from tissue paper mosaic to charcoal drawing – this book will develop your child’s own creative abilities.

Portrait of Anna Zborowska We think of a normal portrait as being a likeness of an individual. But when we look at Amedeo Modigliani’s portraits, they all seem to have the same characteristics – elongated faces, eyes and lips and curving limbs that give the sitter’s bodies a sense of movement. Modigliani also tended to use mostly earthy colours, such as browns and yellows, so many of his pictures have the same tone. Yet, despite this repeated style, we get a very clear idea of the individual character of Anna Zborowska from her portrait. How did Modigliani achieve this and why did he paint his portraits with such recognisable characteristics?

Modigliani was born into a cultivated Jewish family in Livorno, Italy, in 1884. Encouraged by his mother in his art studies he moved to Florence, then Venice and finally to Paris in 1906. In Paris he met a group of avant-garde artists, including Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brancusi, who looked beyond Western art for their inspiration. Brancusi introduced Modigliani to African masks and sculpture and this was to be one of the strongest influences on his art. If you look at the Portrait of Anna, you can see that she has an oval, mask-like face. In 1917 Modigliani met Leopold Zborowski, a Polish poet who became his art dealer. Zborowski championed Modigliani’s work and commissioned a portrait of his wife, Anna Zborowska. The portrait displays all of Modigliani’s trademarks; a simple composition, drawn with a few warm colours to create an intimate atmosphere. Anna’s collar frames her face and her hair sits like a cap on her head. But her face reveals nothing, creating an air of mystery. Modigliani depersonalised his portraits, but at the same time, he tried to paint the essence of things so that his art would reach beyond a particular time and place.

Maja Pitamic is the author of I Can Do It, as well as coauthor of Modern Art Adventures. She has over fifteen years’ teaching experience and holds degrees in Art History and Montessori Teacher Training. Jill Laidlaw has edited and written numerous books, including works on the history of Western paintings, the history of Western sculpture and monographs on Paul Klee and Frida Kahlo.

Think about. . . Anna Zborowska’s face looks like a mask. Was this intentional? Yes, it was due to Modigliani’s study of African masks. If you painted this picture using bright colours, how would this change the painting? Using bright colours would alter the whole mood of the painting. Bright colours would also change the balance of the painting as the outlines in the portrait would no longer dominate the picture. You might like to try this out yourself to see the difference it makes.

On the white paper, draw a line with your pencil that divides the paper in two columns. Find magazine pages similar to both the yellow and red sides of Modigliani’s painting, tear them into long strips. Glue the strips into blocks on each side of the paper.

On the brown paper, draw and cut out Anna’s face and neck. Then stick it down on top of the yellow and red collage background.

Draw the shoulders on the black paper. Then cut out and stick onto the collage paper, joining them up with the neck. Repeat this step for Anna’s hair and place it a little way down her head.

You will need A sheet of white heavy paper, A3 or any size A pencil A magazine A glue stick A sheet of brown paper A pair of scissors A sheet of black paper A doily A small piece of silver foil Colouring pencils

Now cut out pieces of a doily to create Anna’s collar and stick them around her neck and shoulders.

For the brooch, cut out an oval from a magazine page and stick it down. Take your silver foil and roll it to make a thin straw. Then stick it down to form the surround of the brooch.

Finally, sketch in the face and then colour it in using your coloured pencils.

• A timely reference work in light of the rise of Wikileaks and recent political hacking activity

In the 15th and 16th centuries, cryptologists began to recognize the power of using more than one alphabet in their ciphers.

he Italian cryptographer Giovan Battista Bellaso, born in Brescia in 1505, was a skilled cryptographer whose methods were used by both cardinals and counts. His most important works were La Cifra del Sig. Giovan Battista Bellaso, published in 1553, and Novi et singolari modi di cifrare, published in 1555, which continued the work of the earlier volume. Bellaso built on the use of polyalphabetic ciphers by the Abbot Trithemius by introducing the concept of employing a key to make cracking messages even A tabula recta, first used by Johannes harder. Trithemius in his book Polygraphia. As with other polyalphabetic ciphers, the way to crack them is to use Kasiski’s method (see page 127), which breaks the ciphertext down by first working out how many cipher alphabets have been used and subsequently applying frequency analysis on each portion of the text.

Using the cipher Bellaso’s method uses eleven alphabets as shown in the image below. Note that at the time, the letters J, K and W were not used while the letter U and V were interchangeable. The shifts of the lower half-alphabets look random but are actually in a sequence so they can be learned by heart and reproduced without reference to the original book. If you follow the sequence a, e, i, o, v, c, g, m, q, s, y and find this letter in the two letters at the left-hand side, you will see that the bottom row is shifted by one character compared to the previous one. To use the cipher, a word or phrase must be agreed in advance between the sender and recipient. Bellaso called this a countersign, but it is now more commonly known as a key. The letters of the countersign are written out as many times as necessary above the letters of plaintext to be encrypted (see below). In the following example, the countersign is france. We write this countersign out as many times as needed so there is one letter for every letter of the plaintext. To encipher each letter, we look at the countersign letter and find it among the groups of two index letters at the left hand side of Bellaso’s chart. We then look to find the plaintext letter in the alphabet next to those index letters and write down the letter that sits above or below that plaintext character. The recipient, already equipped with the countersign, simply does the operation in reverse to reveal the plaintext.

Ciphertext

Alan Turing & the Enigma Machine A pioneering English computer scientist, cryptanalyst and mathematician Alan Turing developed a number of inspired techniques for breaking German ciphers in World War II.

y the mid-1930s, the German armed forces were using Scherbius’s machine regularly to encrypt their communications, unaware that it had been broken by the Poles. Yet, as the decade continued, the German military modified the machine to make it even more fiendishly complex. They added a plugboard through which specific pairs of letters could be interchanged by inserting cables between the plugs (known as steckers). According Innovative computer scientist and to historians Frank Carter and John mathematician Alan Turing, in 1951, whose work at Bletchley Park Gallehawk, the modifications meant there is credited as shortening World were 158 million, million, million possible War II by years. different ways of setting up the machine. Events overtook Marian Rejewski and his colleagues. With the impending invasion of Poland, they shared their work with British intelligence. Britain’s codebreaking activities were spearheaded by the Government Code and Cypher School at a country house called Bletchley Park—BP to its inhabitants—staffed by mathematicians from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and later joined by its allies, including the United States. Among those working at BP was a young man who had been recruited

from King’s College, Cambridge, Alan Turing. In his time at Cambridge, Turing had shown himself to be a hugely gifted mathematician, proving the so-called central limit theorem in his dissertation. He also produced a landmark paper on computable numbers which included a description of theoretical devices which have become known as Turing machines. Turing machines subsequently provided the theoretical basis for the invention of computers. Using the work of the Poles to gain a headstart, BP codebreakers Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman invented an electrical device known as a bombe to work through the initial rotor positions in turn. The name reflected the Polish bomba, but was in fact a totally different device. Essential to the Bletchley Park approach was the ablity to find a crib. Messages frequently began with the word “secret,” while naval messages often included the weather and their position. One operator was particularly fond of using IST—the German word for “is”—as his message setting. Breaking Enigma was as much about highlighting human frailties as technical ones. The design of the bombe allowed its operators to check the 26 possible stecker partners of a given input letter simultaneously for each of the nearly 18,000 possible rotor settings. As it ran through these settings, if it came across a series of settings that corresponded with the crib, it stopped. Manual techniques, such as frequency analysis (see pages 32–35), were then used to test the rotor settings. After the success of the bombe, Turing moved on to lead BP’s Hut 8, which dealt with Germany’s naval enigma code. While here he invented a statistical technique known as Banburismus, similar to Friedman’s Index of Coincidence (see page 87), which enabled BP to break the naval code until 1943. By the end of the war, the Bletchley Park team had broken more than two and a half million Enigma messages and had made highly significant contributions to the Allied victory. Some say it shortened the war by years.

This tropical superfruit is loaded with vitamins — predominantly C and B — minerals and high antioxidant, anti-ageing compounds with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral benefits for all areas of the body. When young, coconuts have an outer green husk and softer, more creamy ‘meat’. As they mature, they develop a brown husk and the meat is much firmer. Green coconut ‘meat’ is rich in calcium and important fatty acids, while coconut oil has great antioxidant power that is retained even when heated during cooking.

Although green and mature coconuts both contain coconut water, the level of beneficial nutrients is much higher in the green coconut. With good levels of iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and being impressively rich in potassium, green coconut water is ideal for restoring electrolyte levels during hot weather.

Professor Achim Peters, a doctor from Lübeck, Germany, has identified that it is the sugar status in our brains rather than our blood sugar levels in general that determine whether we develop an appetite for particular nutrients, especially carbohydrates.

THE ROLE YOUR BRAIN PLAYS In order to guarantee its supply of sugar, the brain is equipped with various energy control modules. These consist of a network of neurons that originate in the uppermost hierarchical regions of the brain, then pass over into the brain stem and from there travel out through the body to the liver, pancreas and finally to the muscles. If necessary our brain cells can also simply extract glucose from the blood. The evidence for this kind of system is based on pathological research carried by Marie Krieger in 1921. Looking at malnutrition in young soldiers who died during the First World War, she established that under conditions of starvation (and therefore sugar deprivation) the internal organs shrink by up to 40 per cent. The one exception to this is the brain, which at most loses two per cent of its overall mass. So, although the brain only accounts for two per cent of the body’s weight in terms of its mass, it requires a good half of the daily intake of carbohydrates. In normal conditions it may consume two-thirds of blood glucose quantities. Put under stress, our grey matter can take up to 90 per cent of these valuable energy sources.

Retraining the Brain Reprogramming your metabolism is possible. We know that the liver can produce glucose itself from fats and amino acids and so is not dependent on an external supply of sugar and carbohydrates. If there is a stark reduction in the supply of carbohydrates and sugar, the brain can actually generate its own super fuel in the form of substances called ketone bodies. They are only produced by the body’s liver fat metabolism when blood sugar levels are low and they act as a quickly obtainable energy supply for sugar dependent organs like the brain.

Warning Signs of Addiction Frequent cravings for sweet things, snacking between meals, a longing for fruit juices or sweet drinks, an excessive predilection for bread, noodles and pasta or pizza as well as high fruit consumption in the evening should be enough to make us prick up our ears and consider whether or not we have developed an addiction. This is particularly the case if we feel tired and less able to concentrate after a meal. There are several additional indicators, as follows:

• mood swings and ‘energy crises’

• pressure or a feeling of tension in the abdomen • difficulty in sleeping

• a state of anxiety, tension after eating • particular cravings for dairy or starch

LOVE A WARM CLIMATE The climate in which we live exerts a crucial influence on our health. Extreme cold weather brings the threat of exposure, hypothermia and infections such as influenza, bronchitis and pneumonia, while excessively hot weather can put intolerable strain on the heart and cause problems with dehydration. Very old and very young people are most vulnerable, especially from diseases such as seasonal flu.

Somewhere between the extremes is the ideal climate, where the winters are mild and the summers are pleasantly warm. Research into ‘Blue Zones’ – areas of the world where people live measurably longer – has identified the Mediterranean island of Sardinia as one of these places. A remarkably high proportion of people who live there reach their one-hundredth year, including, unusually, a large number of men – there are 13.56 centenarians per 100,000 people in this balmy region. An attractive alternative is Okinawa in Japan, where the temperature hovers around and above 20º Celsius (68º Fahrenheit) for most of the year and, amazingly, more than 40 out of 100,000 people are over 100 years old. The critical aspect of these statistics seems to be that many of those who reach the age of 80 proceed to survive for much longer – they are entering a period of life in which human beings are most sensitive to the effects of climate and least able to cope with harsh conditions.

PICK YOURSELF UP In general, people with a high level of self-esteem put considerable effort into looking after their health and wellbeing. There are several positive steps you can take to build up your self-esteem if it is at a low ebb:

• Start by making a list of your good points, and don’t be hard on yourself. Once you have your list, abandon modesty and congratulate yourself on these points every day.

• Doing something kind for others has been shown to increase self-esteem, so find a community group you can volunteer with, preferably one that interests you.

• Spend time with people who reinforce your belief in yourself, and avoid those who threaten your self-esteem by being negative or thinking themselves superior.

160

ENJOY THE VIEW Research has shown that after an operation, those patients who were assigned to hospital rooms with an appealing outdoor view recovered faster and were discharged sooner than those who had no view. A beautiful view helps all of us to keep healthy by lifting our mood, easing stress and providing a deep sense of optimism and contentment. So place your chair by the window and have a good look outside.

LION (‘lʌɪən’, Panthera leo) Despite its endangered status, the lion still lives wild in some parts of subSaharan Africa and Asia. Characterized by its golden coat and long mane (found on male lions only), the lion can grow to a length of 2 m, making it the second largest living cat after the tiger. Lions live in family units known as prides and are mainly nocturnal, sleeping during the day and hunting at night. The females are the primary hunters while the males defend their territory, which can be up to 260 km2 (100 square miles) wide.

RING-TAILED LEMUR (‘rɪŋ-teɪld limər,’ Lemur catta) Found only on the island of Madagascar, the ring-tailed lemur is distinctive for its striped tail, which is often longer than its entire head and body together. It also has black rings around its eyes, giving it a permanently surprised expression. Lemurs communicate with each other with their strong scent glands; when male lemurs compete for a female, they try to out-scent each other. They live nocturnally in treetops in groups of around seventeen, with a female as the chief of the group.
