Описание: With wry humor and penetrating satire, Flatland takes us on a mind-expanding journey into a different world to give us a new vision of our own. A. Square, the slightly befuddled narrator, is born into a place limited to two dimensions--irrevocably flat--and peopled by a hierarchy of geometrical forms. In a Gulliver-like tour of his bizarre homeland, A. Square spins a fascinating tale of domestic drama and political turmoil, from sex among consenting triangles to the intentional subjugation of Flatland's females. He tells of visits to Lineland, the world of one dimension, and Pointland, the world of no dimension. But when A. Square dares to speak openly of a third, or even a fourth, dimension, his tragic fate climaxes a brilliant parody of Victorian society. An underground favorite since its publication in England in1884, Flatland is as prophetic a science fiction classic as the works of H. G. Wells, introducing aspects of relativity and hyperspace years before Einstein's famous theories. And it does so with wonderful, enduring enchantment. With an Introduction by Valerie Smith and a New Afterword by John Allen Paulos

Описание: When your name is Edwin Abbott Abbott and youre writing a novel as "A Square" (his pseudonym), there is a certain sense of humour involved. Amazingly, Abbott was an English schoolmaster, and his novel "Flatland" is not only well known through Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory", but mainly because of Albert Einsteins introduction of the possibility of a fourth dimension which made "Flatland" suddenly a visionary piece of writing, way ahead of its time. Einstein mentions Abbotts intuition of the importance of time to explain certain phenomena. "Flatland" is no mathematical essay, it is mainly a fantastic story with a lot of social satire of the Victorian society during its time.
