From Biography Base:

Edwin Abbott Abbott, English schoolmaster and theologian, is best known as the author of the mathematical satire Flatland (1884).

He was educated at the City of London School and at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took the highest honours in classics, mathematics and theology, and became fellow of his college. In 1862 he took orders. After holding masterships at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and at Clifton College, he succeeded G. F. Mortimer as headmaster of the City of London School in 1865 at the early age of twenty-six. He was Hulsean lecturer in 1876.

He retired in 1889, and devoted himself to literary and theological pursuits. Dr. Abbott's liberal inclinations in theology were prominent both in his educational views and in his books. His Shakespearian Grammar (1870) is a permanent contribution to English philology. In 1885 he published a life of Francis Bacon. His theological writings include three anonymously published religious romances - Philochristus (1878), Onesimus (1882), and Sitanus (1906).

More weighty contributions are the anonymous theological discussion The Kernel and the Husk (1886), Philomythus (1891), his book The Anglican Career of Cardinal Newman (1892), and his article "The Gospels" in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, embodying a critical view which caused considerable stir in the English theological world. He also wrote St Thomas of Canterbury, his Death and Miracles (1898), Johannine Vocabulary (1905), Johannine Grammar (1906). Flatland was published in 1884.

Sources that say he is the brother of Evelyn Abbott (1843 - 1901), who was a well-known tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, and author of a scholarly history of Greece, are in error.

'Upward, yet not Northward.' 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 on the eve of the new millennium. Part geometry lesson, part social satire, this classic work of science fiction brilliantly succeeds in enlarging all readers' imaginations beyond the limits of our 'respective dimensional prejudices'. In a world where class is determined by how many sides you possess, and women are straight lines, the prospects for enlightenment are boundless, and Abbott's hypotheses about a fourth and higher dimensions seem startlingly relevant today. This new edition of Flatland illuminates the social and intellectual context that produced the work as well as the timeless questions that it raises about the limits of our perception and knowledge. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

焦建/文 上完中学的几何课程之后,除了对数学有兴趣的人,估计不会有太多人还对于平面和纬度产生兴趣。作为一种理解更加艰深知识的工具,这些概念被当做一种学习的跳板。我们都记得的公理是——点移动成线,线移动成面,面移动成体。立体图形成为学习的核心,除此之外,其他的...

內容很有趣,開始時對我來說語言有點難,後半本不知是習慣瞭還是劇情展開瞭完全不覺語言障礙瞭

评分

這本書真是令人發顫的好啊,為什麼纔看到。科幻/諷刺.二維、三維——四維(啓發瞭很多後續作品)不是對女性的衊視,我比較多理解成反諷,緯度越低越不尊敬女性。一百多年前,老式英語,有一些聖經裏麵常見的就比較好懂,另一些就有點"古闆"瞭,不知道什麼時候背過的"一輩子不會用到"的單詞。

评分

謝耳朵喜歡的二維世界,《生活大爆炸》裏的點評鞭闢入裏,本書是對維多利亞道德風尚的隱晦批評。

评分

老實說相當枯燥,不過從一維世界到二維世界再到三維世界的類比還是很有趣的,二維世界風俗法律各種反諷,有點格列佛遊記的感覺

评分

大贊!堪比1984!視角非常漂亮!!
