Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott. It is a satirical novel by the English school teacher Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884 by Seeley & Co. of London. Written under the pen name "A Square," the book used Flatland's two-dimensional fictional world to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novel's most enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. Several films have been made in history, including the film Flatland (2007). Other efforts have been short films or experimental films, including one narrated by Dudley Moore and the shorts Flatland: The Movie (2007) and Flatland 2: Sphereland.The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, where women are simple linear segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides.The narrator is a square, a member of the knights and professionals caste, who guides readers through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. The first half of the story goes through the practicalities of existing in a two-dimensional universe, as well as a pre-1999 story on the eve of the 3rd Millennium. On New Year's Eve, the Plaza dreams of a visit to a one-dimensional world (Lineland) inhabited by "bright spots."
