Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

RIGHT AWAY in the west of Ireland lies a tiny hamlet called Kraighten. It is situated, alone, at the base of a low hill. Far around there spreads a waste of bleak and totally inhospitable country; where, here and there at great intervals, one may come upon the ruins of some long desolate cottage — unthatched and stark. The whole land is bare and unpeopled, the very earth scarcely covering the rock that lies beneath it, and with which the country abounds, in places rising out of the soil in wave-shaped ridges.

A great safari had come to Africa to make a movie. It had struggled across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it was halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There was no way to return. And ahead lay the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas lived in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. Behind them came Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks -- though hardly in courage!

二战后作为战败国的德国处在盟军和苏军的管制中，万事萧条，百废待兴。生活在柏林的15岁少年迈克·伯格患上了猩红热，但他仍然时不时的坐车到很远的图书馆中找寻自己爱看的书籍，对于这位身处战后管制区的少年而言，这是他仅有的娱乐。迈克有一次在路上猩红热病发，汉娜将他送回家，两人开始渐渐交谈起来。病好的迈克前往汉娜住的地方感谢她的救命之恩，在汉娜的屋内，迈克第一次感受到了非比寻常的快乐。 　　两人的关系发生了奇妙的化学反应，情欲变成了爱情，他和汉娜私下见面的次数越来越多，两人在汉娜的公寓中度着属于自己的快乐时光。汉娜常常叫迈克带来不同的书籍，然后慢慢地读给她听。相处中迈克和汉娜的矛盾渐渐爆发，迈克试图对抗年龄的悬殊带来的服从感，并想摆脱自身的稚气和懦弱。终于有一天，当迈克前往汉娜的公寓，发现已经人去楼空，这段无果之恋也走到了尽头。 　　　毕业之前，迈克作为实习生前往旁听一次对纳粹战犯的审判，在审判席上，迈克做梦也没有想到，坐在战犯座位上的，竟然是汉娜！审判开始了，原来汉娜曾经做过纳粹集中营的看守。或许是出于自责、或是对法律的无知、汉娜对指控供认不讳，并因为不愿在众人面前暴露自己不认字的事实，认下本不属于自己的重责。迈克此时有能力帮助汉娜澄清事实，出于对汉娜罪行的谴责以及不愿暴露自己与汉娜的关系，他选择了沉默，就连给汉娜鼓励的勇气也没有。最终汉娜被判终身监禁。 　　迈克在很多年后开始给狱中的汉娜寄自己朗读的磁带，这让汉娜重新找到了活着的意义和勇气，并且汉娜通过磁带和书的逐字对比学会了阅读和书写！并且开始给迈克写信。迈克从来没有回过。也许他想逃避那份自责的心情；也许他没有勇气面对汉娜。这让汉娜感到无比的孤单。汉娜出狱的时间到了，迈克来到狱中看见已经白发苍苍的汉娜，虽然承诺给汉娜提供出狱后物质上的援助，却拒绝了心灵沟通。汉娜绝望自杀。 　　帮助汉娜处理遗愿并不能使迈克逃出自责，他最后选择倾诉来宣泄内心的痛楚。
