Meno male che non ho ceduto alla tentazione di abbandonare la lettura di questo libro. Già una prima volta avevo lasciato perdere. Le prime sessanta pagine si erano rivelate ostiche, soprattutto per chi vive in un periodo nel quale non ha strettamente la necessità di troppi giri di rotelle. Avevo riposto il libro sul comodino, abbandonandolo accanto alla pila di cose da leggere, ma comunque in bella vista. Quasi con il masochistico intento di essere rimproverato da quella copertina Green crap (that of Adelphi economic
version).
When I decided to resume the reading after a few months, just because there is never too hurt, I started to read it all over again. And this time, the doubts that I had attacked the first time, they arrived after about ninety pages. And then magically disappear. In a first block, Edwin A. Abbott Flatland, a country that grows in only two dimensions, where the woman is a straight line, the triangles are the forces order and the workers, the squares represent that segment of people as less educated and so on, until the concept of more sides you have, the higher you climb to the top of the social ladder
After this first part happens that the novel's protagonist, a square (but also a mathematician), she meets a sphere that does not reveal that now, with all the problems that this meeting brings. Her faith and her certainties crumble like nothing had the ball and the difficulty in explaining a third dimension to the mathematician, with explanatory aspects that simply do not fall within the logical concepts of Flatland , fanno arrivare per forza alla conclusione assurda (e assoluta) che non è detto che non esistano delle realtà diverse solo perchè non siamo in grado di concepirne le dinamiche. La nostra stessa realtà ( Euclidea ) potrebbe in effetti già sforare dalle tre dimensioni canoniche e rientrare nelle quattro, in quanto una corrente di pensiero sullo studio della fenomenologia naturale, dopo le prime tre grandezze (per definizione: le tre dimensioni dello spazio stesso), annoverano a pieno titolo il fattore Tempo come quarta dimensione. La sera che ho finito il libro, e la notte che ne è derivata, affollata di strani e psichedelici sogni, ho realizzato so that a fourth dimension could be possible. As a fifth, a sixth and so on. I swear that I was thinking about it for at least a couple of days. And the aftermath of reading, still, have not disappeared altogether. And to think that Edwin Abbott, writer, theologian and padagogo UK, has finished writing this novel (which ultimately is not too novel) only in 1884. Send an extremely formative in many ways and foreboding thoughts which, taken in a certain way, can also lead to madness. Recommended for those who have nothing to lose, then, and who does not stop at the first school knowledge about life, the universe and everything. Infine, nel solito sommesso ricercare in rete, Un giochino on line chiamato appunto Flatland , ma che a parte (presumo) le forme geometriche basilari, poco o nulla ha a che fare con il romanzo in questione, visto che ci si dovrà cimentare nel più classico degli space game a scorrimento verticale. E più you eat pieces by enemy ships who blow themselves up, as your ship grows.
Above The Official Movie Version of Flatland , the site of the 2007 animated feature film dedicated to the work of Abbott
, which included the voices of those cast Martin Sheen, Kristen Bell and Joe Estevez . Project as interesting, having read the book, it is not to be associated with the carefree atmosphere and cartoonish that they do want to instill in the film.
