    Alice, a Falsa Tartaruga, o Grifo, a Rainha de Copas, o Chapeleiro Louco- os personagens de Alice no País das Maravilhas e Alice através do espelho, de Lewis Carroll, estão de volta neste instigante livro de enigmas lógicos. Raymond Smullyan torna a lançar aqui seus fascinantes desafios, recriando com maestria o universo de Carroll. Não apenas os personagens falam e se comportam exatamente como os originais; também os jogos de palavras, os problemas de lógica e metalógica (lógica da lógica) e os complexos paradoxos filosóficos são típicos do criador de Alice. Lidando o tempo todo com o nonsense e a lógica, esses enigmas nos aproximam prazerosamente do mistério da vida, da dificuldade de distinguir verdadeiro e falso, real e irreal.

    Raymond Smullyan, famoso matemático estadunidense, conta várias histórias com a Alice de Lewis Carrol no País da Maravilhas e através do Espelho decifrando diversos enigmas propostos pelos personagens de cada universo. No começo eu não estava gostando muito da narração do autor, mas depois ela melhora muito (ou eu que me acostumo à ela) e o livro fica muito bom. Alguns dos enigmas são meio infantis, mas a maioria deles são ótimos, e quebrei muito a cabeça resolvendo alguns - vários nem consegui resolver, e um continuei tentando resolver mesmo depois de terminar o livro. Porém, como eu não conheço a história de Alice direito - nunca li os livros de Carrol nem vi os filmes da Disney - eu não consegui aproveitar ao máximo as histórias contadas entre os enigmas, o que foi uma pena. Mas ao mesmo tempo foi bom, porque só por causa disso eu finalmente me interessei em ler sobre os países encantados. Alice no país dos enigmas é um ótimo livro se você já tiver lido os originais de Carrol e/ou se você quiser testar sua inteligência.

    Raymond Merrill Smullyan

    Although he was born, raised and educated in the West, an examination of Raymond's life, philosophy and works embody the essence and meaning of the term, “Zen Master.” Raymond has had a remarkably diverse sequence of careers. Fellow polymath Martin Gardner, former editor of Scientific American, has aptly described him as a “unique set of personalities that includes a philosopher, logician, mathematician, musician, writer and maker of marvelous puzzles.” Born in 1919 in Far Rockaway, New York, Raymond’s first love was music. After winning the gold medal for the piano in the 1931 New York Music Week Association competition, he decided to make the piano his principal instrument. Raymond's first teaching position was at Roosevelt College in Chicago, where he taught piano. At about that time he unfortunately developed tendonitis in his right arm forcing him to abandon piano performances as his primary career. As a result of this he turned his attention to mathematics, which he equally loved. He had learned most of this on his own, with very little formal education at the time. He then took a few advanced courses at the University of Chicago, and supported himself at the time as a professional magician! Curiously enough, before he had a college degree, or even a high school diploma, he received an appointment as a mathematics instructor at Dartmouth College on the basis of some brilliant papers he had written on mathematical logic. After teaching at Dartmouth College for two years, the University of Chicago gave him a Bachelor of Arts degree, based partly on courses he had never taken, but had successfully taught. He then went to Princeton University for his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1959. Raymond is now internationally known as a mathematical logician, having published six books and over forty research papers in the field. He is equally well known worldwide as a writer, having authored over twenty books, many of which have been translated into seventeen languages. His writings cover an amazing variety of subjects: Chinese Taoism; the psychology of religious and mystical consciousness; philosophical fantasies; recreational logic puzzles designed to introduce the general reader to deep results in mathematics; retrograde chess problems encapsulated into Sherlock Holmes and Arabian Nights stories; stereo photography; and, essays on various aspects of life. Now retired as a distinguished professor of philosophy from Indiana University, Raymond resides in the beautiful upper region of the Catskill Mountains and has returned to music as one of his principal activities. Raymond truly has the wisdom of a Zen Master and sage; the artistry and finesse of a musician and magician; the heart, creativity and eloquence of a poet; the insight and analytical skills of a logician and mathematician; and the wonder of a wizard.
