Description

In a unique blend of mathematics, social commentary, and satire, characters inhabit a two-dimensional world that challenges their understanding of reality and existence. The narrator, a humble square, introduces readers to the rigid class structure of Flatland, where the shape of one's body determines their social status. Abbott cleverly critiques Victorian society, gender roles, and the limitations of human perception, all while inviting readers to ponder the possibility of dimensions beyond their own.

As the story unfolds, the square's encounter with a three-dimensional being shatters his preconceived notions of reality, leading to a profound journey of enlightenment. This enlightening narrative encourages readers to reflect on their own views and the constraints of their perceptions, making it not just a tale of dimensions, but a timeless exploration of knowledge and understanding. The bilingual edition broadens its reach, allowing both Chinese and English speakers to engage with this classic in a fresh, interconnected way.
