Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer
in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4
July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames
in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice
Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church,
and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith
(eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the
book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first
he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many
half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of
the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. Arturo Alfandari
was born in Italy on 8 June 1888, and worked as an exporter before
serving as a Belgian diplomat. In 1937 when it looked as though war was
inevitable, Alfandari decided that he wanted to do something to help to
change people's outlook on life, and to do so by making available a
means of communication which everyone could use. A polyglot, Alfandari
examined Esperanto, but believed that it was too com-plicated, and he
set about devising a language which was simpler and more regular, with
shorter root words. In 1961 he published a bound manual of his
international language Neo, which was described by Paul Rasquin as "the
natural and inevitable further development of Esperanto" and by Aldo
Lavagnini as "a radical and satisfy-ing way for a reform of Esperanto,
which could have been accepted by Esperantists even as a simplification
of their language."
