Edwin Abbott's beloved mathematical adventure novel "Flatland" (1884) is being introduced to a whole new generation of readers and viewers through "Flatland: The Movie", a dramatic computer-animated adaptation starring Martin Sheen, Kristen Bell, Michael York, Tony Hale, and Joe Estevez. This book is the companion to the movie - and the ultimate edition of the classic book on which it is based. A beautiful, large-format volume, "Flatland: The Movie Edition" includes: the full text of the original novel; the screenplay of the movie; essays on the making of the movie by the writers and filmmakers - producer Seth Caplan, director Jeffrey Travis, and director and animator Dano Johnson; color illustrations; and a new introduction by Thomas Banchoff, a Brown University mathematician and Flatland authority who served as an advisor to the filmmakers.By describing the challenges the filmmakers faced in updating a Victorian mathematical allegory for a new generation and transforming it into a compelling animated story, "Flatland: The Movie Edition" makes watching the movie and reading Abbott's book even more illuminating and enjoyable. You'll never think about the multiple dimensions of space in the same way again.
很有滋味的小说,描述细致笔触幽默。 作者对二维世界不仅有出自逻辑与数学角度的构想(比如平面国的人如何认知这个世界,如何判断男女以及不同个体,如何通过明暗变化与线条长短的配合来判断来者边数等),更延伸到了意识形态、思想文化以及宗教信仰等层面(比如边数决定等级,...
評分一个科学寓言:有个射击运动员在例行训练,在标靶上生活的一种生物中的科学家观察到他们的世界每隔一定时间段,就会出现一个洞。他宣布了这个物理定律。整个上午,射击运动员都在射击,对于标靶生物来说,这是很长的历史时期,他们认为他们的科学家是正确的。遗憾的是下午射击...
評分对于《平面之国》这部小说的分类,历来有两种不同的观点。 第一种意见是把它列为“科学小说”。从这个意义上讲,作者艾勃特运用深入浅出的语言,借助清晰严谨的结构,引人入胜的想象,以及滑稽生动的实例,向读者呈现了点(零维)、直线(一维)、平面(二维)以及空间(三维)...
評分 評分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?
