Aankoopopties en uitbreidingen

How would a creature limited to two dimensions be able to grasp the possibility of a third? Edwin A. Abbott's droll and delightful "romance of many dimensions" explores this conundrum in the experiences of his protagonist, A Square, whose linear world is invaded by an emissary Sphere bringing the gospel of the third dimension. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of their "respective dimensional prejudices."
This new edition begins with an introduction by Rosemary Jann that illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work and explains its relationship to the theological issues central to Abbott's career. It also provides the most extensive discussion to date of the class and gender issues raised by the text and of the debates over the limits of scientific and mathematical knowledge in which it participated.
Flatland's unique combination of astute social, philosophical, and mathematical observations with wit and humor can be read at many different levels, and will prove especially enjoyable to readers of Victorian literature and philosophy.

    5,0 van 5 sterren Extraordinary tour de force
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 14 september 2008
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    What an extraordinary book! I approached it expecting a period piece and found a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong - it's no surprise that the author was a Victorian clergyman-schoolmaster - who else would think of writing an entertaining best-seller about geometry and the fourth dimension?

    Told from the perspective a respectable middle class citizen of the two-dimensional world of Flatland, this is a 120-page tour-de force. Whilst taking the reader through the imaginative steps which lead, logically, to the idea of four (or more) dimensions, the narrative reflects many of the social absurdities and dangerous ideas of Victorian Britain. On the lighter side, the narrator pokes gentle fun at the class system and social ambition; on the darker side he discusses eugenics, egalitarianism and the threat of unorthodox ideas.

    Science fiction? Geometry? Philosophy? Satire? It's been compared to Gulliver, Erehwon, The Time Machine and Alice in Wonderland. Alice is probably the closest - but only in the sense that it's one of those rare books that demands a category of its own.

    As well as the text, the Oxford World's Classics edition has a useful introduction, a good bibliography and a chronology of the life of Edwin Abbott. Highly recommended.

    5,0 van 5 sterren Social Satire
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 14 februari 2008
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    Please don't be deterred by those reviewers who imagine that the author shared the Flatlanders' disparaging view of women and blue-collar men. Not so. E. A. Abbott was an energetic teacher and writer as well as an Anglican priest, and he devoted a great deal of his energy to the cause of women's education, working with the leading female educators of the day in their campaign for access to universities and better opportunities for secondary education. As well as a parable and an introduction to n-dimensional geometry, Flatland is a satire on social prejudice-- on two-dimensional attitudes, in other words. The clues can be found in the book itself, but the record of Abbott's life confirms the satirical agenda. Victorian clergymen weren't all misogynists and snobs, and to assume that Victorians in general were stuffy, biased, and repressed is both patronizing and unfair. There are bigots in every time and place, our own included, but there are always also those who are working for a better, juster world.

    This classic text helps students think "outside the box." It opens up new possibilities, and flexes the thinking of those who think rigidly...my way is the only way...
