«Planilàndia» is the science fiction novel by Edwin Abbott Abbott, published by Laertes editorial in paperback (96 pages, in Catalan).
Written under the pseudonym A Square, it tells the story of a square, inhabitant of a two-dimensional world, who receives a visit from a sphere and travels through Lineland and Spaceland. Abbott uses the adventure to popularise the geometry of higher dimensions and satirise the social, moral and religious conventions of his time.
The original work, «Flatland», dates from 1884; this Catalan edition translated by Jordi Vidal Tubau is number 60 of the L'Arcà collection.
It will appeal to readers of classic science fiction, fans of mathematical popularisation and followers of Victorian satire.
Edwin Abbott Abbott was an English schoolmaster, theologian, and Anglican priest, best known as the author of the novella Flatland (1884).
