'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.

读后感
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？
评分《生活大爆炸》里，谢耳朵有一次说：Sometimes when I feel stifled and want a change of scenery, I use my imagination. One of my favorite places to visit is the two dimensional world described in Edwin Abbott's mathematical fantasy, "Flatland." 这本一百多年以...
评分文/鲁冬旭 许多读者恐怕对《平面国》并不熟悉，至少我在开始翻译前对其知之甚少：除了《生活大爆炸》里谢尔顿的推崇，我压根没在别处听说过这部作品。 1884 年出版，作者埃德温·A. 艾勃特是牧师、神学家、古典文学学者、公立学校校长——成书年代和作者的身份都让我下意识想拒...

Full Of TerminologyS... And may I say, it's really really not interesting as I thought...
评分大失所望。。。前面的设定很多都没用上，后半本书也只是在推广维度的概念，不过考虑到这本书1884年出版，还是很牛逼的。书还有潜力没挖掘出来。作者的英语是数学老师教的吧= =！！
评分前半部分相当赞，通篇皆是讽刺人类社会。pointland是最动人心魄的存在，一个人即宇宙
评分有很多不知道是印刷错误还是原文的拼写错误（这个不至于吧？）难道书展上买到的也是盗版书？
