FLATLAND (Illustrated) A Romance of Many Dimensions【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Edwin A. Abbott's 'Flatland (Illustrated)' is a groundbreaking work of mathematical fiction that explores the concept of multiple dimensions through the lens of a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric shapes. The book provides a satirical commentary on Victorian society while also serving as a thought-provoking allegory on the limitations of human perception. Abbott's use of allegory and satire creates a playful yet insightful narrative that challenges readers to think beyond their perceived realities. As a respected scholar and theologian, Edwin A. Abbott's background in mathematics and classical literature likely influenced his creation of 'Flatland'. His precise and detailed explanations of geometry and dimensions showcase his dedication to accurately portraying a two-dimensional world. Abbott's intellectual curiosity and passion for exploring new ideas shine through in the pages of 'Flatland', making it a unique and thought-provoking read for readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'Flatland (Illustrated)' to readers interested in philosophical fiction, mathematics, and social commentary. Abbott's clever narrative and innovative approach to storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone looking to expand their understanding of dimensions and perception.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Illustrated Edition)【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novel. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, whereof women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. The narrator is a square named A Square, a member of the caste of gentlemen and professionals, who guides the readers through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. Flatland has often been categorized as science fiction although it could more precisely be called "mathematical fiction". With the advent of modern science fiction from the 1950s to the present day, Flatland has seen a revival in popularity, especially among science fiction and cyberpunk fans. Many works have been inspired by the novella, including novel sequels and short films.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Flatland A Romance of Many Dimensions【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>'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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 680円

<p><strong>The beloved science fiction classic</strong></p> <p>In Flatland, the more sides a man has, the more powerful he is. Triangles are laborers and soldiers. Squares and pentagons are middle-class doctors and lawyers. Hexagons are nobility. Women, however, are straight lines, incapable of advancement in a two-dimensional world. Everything in Flatland is clear-cut and orderly, until the day an average citizenーa Squareーdreams of a land of three dimensions. If three dimensions are possible, why not four? Or one? Soon, the Square’s provocative imagination and corresponding adventures threaten to turn the whole of Flatland against him.</p> <p>First published in 1884, two decades before Einstein’s theory of relativity defined time as the fourth dimension, Edwin Abbott’s <em>Flatland</em> is both a prescient exploration of the unseen and a delightful skewering of Victorian social strictures.</p> <p>This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 616円

<p>Edwin A. Abbott’s hallucinatory tale has captivated readers for more than a hundred yearsーincluding contemporary scientists such as Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. In this mind-expanding satire, <em>Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions</em> describes a two-dimensional world organized by strict caste system of geometrical forms. The narrator, A. Square, introduces us to Flatland before describing his revelatory explorations of Lineland, a one-dimensional world, and Pointland, a world of no dimensions, and the hitherto inconceivable three-dimensional world of Spaceland, through which he is ushered by his Virgil-like guide, Sphere. In Flatland, Square is regarded as a heretic and imprisoned for his belief in the existence of a third, and possibly even a fourth, dimension.</p> <p>Although it did not achieve popular success on its publication in 1884, <em>Flatland</em> gained a broad audience after the publication of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which focused attention on the concept of a fourth dimension.

Flatland【電子書籍】[ Edwin Abbott Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Written in 1884 by English schoolteacher Edwin Abbott Abbott, "Flatland" (full name "<em>Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions</em>") is a literary hybrid, a math- and science-based novella that creates a fictional land while at the same time satirizing Victorian culture and introducing theories of space’s multi-dimensional nature.</p> <p>Flatland is a world that exists on the two-dimensional plane, where its inhabitantsーliteral geometrical shapesーlive in a highly-structured society organized into classes based on the number of sides of a figure. The narrator and protagonist of "Flatland", mathematician A. Square (a pseudonym originally given as the author of the book), writes from prison, intricately detailing the social organization of his country and recounting the revelations he has received from the sacred “<em>Sphere</em>.”<br /> In Flatland women are straight lines and are considered the lowest of shapes. Men are polygons and the number of sides they have is dependent on their ranking in the social hierarchy. Odd and unexpected incidents bring A. Square together with numerous other geometric shapes. Some of the places he ventures into are Spaceland, which has three dimensions, Lineland, which is one-dimensional, and Pointland, which does not have any dimensions. A. Square also imagines a land with four dimensions, which is considered a subversive concept.</p> <p>While other Victorian literature may be turned to more frequently as “classic” examples of time and genre, "Flatland" remains intellectually challenging given that it prompts an examination of the elements of society without needing to adhere to a firm delineation between fact and fiction.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 61円

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>First published in 1884, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions” is English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott’s classic work of science fiction. With the use of a geometric theme, Abbott weaves the fascinating tale of “A Square”, an inhabitant of “Flatland”, a two-dimensional world where women are portrayed as simple line-segments and men are represented as polygons whose social status is determined by the number and regularity of their sides. Through this device Abbott satirizes the seemingly arbitrary hierarchy of the Victorian era. In addition to a brilliant work of satire “Flatland” is a thought-provoking examination of the bounds of physical space. On the eve of the third millennium “A Square” dreams of a one-dimensional world, “Lineland”, that is inhabited by “lustrous points”. Subsequently he is visited by “A Sphere”, an inhabitant of a three-dimensional world called “Spaceland”, which he fails to comprehend until he sees it for himself. Having his mind opened to the existence of other dimensions “A Square” posits the theoretical possibility of the existence of four, five, and six dimensional worlds, an idea which gets him thrown out of “Spaceland” in disgrace. One of the most original pieces of literature ever written, “Flatland” is a witty and satirical adventure that explores the very nature of physical reality itself.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 509円

<p>Con <em>Fino alla fine</em>, splendida fotografia di due donne forti costrette ad affrontare insieme un tragico evento, Helga Flatland si conferma una delle migliori scrittrici norvegesi del nostro tempo.</p> <p>Sigrid, dottoressa quarantenne, vive a Oslo con i figli e il secondo marito, insieme al quale ha abbandonato il paesino di campagna dove ? cresciuta, lasciandosi alle spalle un carico di ricordi difficile da sostenere. La nuova serenit? che ha conquistato ? per? solo apparente. Sigrid ? infatti segretamente gelosa del rapporto che la figlia maggiore sta instaurando con il padre, il suo primo marito ricomparso da poco e forse mai dimenticato. E poi c’? la madre, Anne, ormai quasi settantenne, fiera e indipendente. Il rapporto con lei ? teso, lo ? sempre stato: Sigrid sta ancora aspettando che l’anziana donna faccia ammenda per aver trascurato lei e suo fratello fin dalla tenera et?, dedicando tutte le sue attenzioni al marito invalido. Sono trascorsi decenni, ma il tempo non ha lenito il dolore, le due donne sono entrambe troppo prese da se stesse e una riconciliazione vera e propria non c’? mai stata. Quando ad Anne viene diagnosticata una malattia terminale, Sigrid deve riconsiderare ogni cosa. La vita della madre sta precipitando verso una fine inaspettata e prematura, e la delicatezza del momento fa s? che tutti i problemi, mai risolti, soltanto taciuti, tutti i silenzi forzati e le recriminazioni tornino a farsi sentire prepotentemente.</p> <p>Con intuito tagliente, profonda empatia e una precisione millimetrica nel cogliere le dinamiche relazionali, Flatland ritrae il dramma e la poesia della vita ordinaria e ci mostra come un singolo cambiamento pu? far emergere desideri repressi e vecchi segreti in ogni famiglia.</p> <p><strong>≪Non riesco a pensare a un altro autore in grado di descrivere la tensione all’interno delle nostre relazioni pi? strette come Helga Flatland. In mezzo all’apparentemente banale monotonia quotidiana, in qualche modo cattura l’essenza della condizione umana≫.<br /> ≪Adresseavisen≫</strong></p> <p><strong>≪Ancora una volta Helga Flatland dimostra un’abilit? unica nel creare ritratti vividi di persone che si ritrovano di fronte ai grandi bivi della vita≫.<br /> ≪VG≫</strong></p> <p><strong>≪Schietta, ironica e tagliente: queste le migliori qualit? di Helga Flatland, acclamata tra le pi? promettenti giovani autrici norvegesi, abilissima nel districarsi tra sentimenti come la perdita, l’attaccamento e il rimpianto≫.<br /> Ilaria Zaffino, ≪Robinson ? la Repubblica≫</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,300円

Flatland A Romance of Many Dimensions【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years. The work of English clergyman, educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.<br /> Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensionsーa revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his two-dimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author, Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a first-rate fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of space. "Instructive, entertaining, and stimulating to the imagination." ー <em>Mathematics Teacher</em>.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 132円

Flatland A Romance of Many Dimensions【電子書籍】[ Edwin A. Abbott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As a satire, 'Flatland' offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions: Noted science writer Isaac Asimov described 'Flatland' as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students. This fully-illustrated story is about a two-dimensional world referred to as Flatland. The unnamed narrator, a humble square (the social caste of gentlemen and professionals), guides us through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. The Square has a dream about a visit to a one-dimensional world (Lineland), and attempts to convince the realm's ignorant monarch of a second dimension, but finds that it is essentially impossible to make him see outside of his eternally straight line.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 240円
