The war for our emotions and choices is raging in Ukraine and the world, around and within us. The number of front lines is countless. People are at war in families, online communities, and societies. States are at war with people, companies, and each other.

The novel by American writer John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922) Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream is a political parody of Lewis Carroll’s two Alice books (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass). Alice travels to Blunderland, where everything is communal; children live in the Town Hall, with the Duchess and the town being their parents. The book features familiar characters made famous by Alice in Wonderland, including the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, among others.

And it was only in this book that such different works came together to provide the reader with the opportunity to judge these contradictory contemporaries.
