The first-ever annotated edition of the beloved classic, beautifully illustrated and brilliantly brought to life for a new generation of readers.

Flatland is a unique, delightful satire that has charmed readers for over a century. Published in 1884 by the English clergyman and head-master Edwin A. Abbott, it is the fanciful tale of A. Square, a two-dimensional being who is whisked away by a mysterious visitor to The Land of Three Dimensions, an experience that forever alters his worldview. By contemplating the notion of dimensions beyond their own, Abbott's Victorian readers were exposed to the then-radical idea of a fourth dimension-preparing them for Einstein's spectacular theories of relativity.

Like the book itself, Ian Stewart's commentary takes readers on a strange and wonderful journey. With clarity and wit, Stewart illuminates Abbott's numerous Victorian references, weaves in little-known biographical information about Abbott and his intellectual circle-elucidating Abbott's remarkable connections to H. G. Wells and the mathematician George Boole-and traces the scientific evolution of geometric forms and dimensions. In addition, Stewart provides an extensive bibliography of Abbott's work and that of Charles Howard Hinton, whose wild but ingenious speculations about the fourth dimension undoubtedly inspired Abbott's fable. Touching on such diverse topics as ancient Babylon, Karl Marx, the Indian Mutiny of 1857, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the Gregorian calendar, Mount Everest, and phrenology, Stewart makes fascinating connections between Flatland and Edwin A. Abbott's life and times. The result is a classic to rival Abbott's own, and a book that will inspire and delight curious readers for generations to come.

对于《平面之国》这部小说的分类,历来有两种不同的观点。 第一种意见是把它列为“科学小说”。从这个意义上讲,作者艾勃特运用深入浅出的语言,借助清晰严谨的结构,引人入胜的想象,以及滑稽生动的实例,向读者呈现了点(零维)、直线(一维)、平面(二维)以及空间(三维)...

不知道是外国人想象力太丰富,还是我们想象力太贫乏,怎么人家就能写得出这种小说来,我们就一辈子循规蹈矩地思考呢?

一个科学寓言:有个射击运动员在例行训练,在标靶上生活的一种生物中的科学家观察到他们的世界每隔一定时间段,就会出现一个洞。他宣布了这个物理定律。整个上午,射击运动员都在射击,对于标靶生物来说,这是很长的历史时期,他们认为他们的科学家是正确的。遗憾的是下午射击...
