Flatlandia - Tumblr Posts

I want to share a funny story.

As I said, one of my favourite book is flatland but I technically learned about this book in a different way respects to other fans.

As I notice here on tumblr a lot of people principale know this book in only two ways.

Or they have read it, maybe in school or somewhere else, or they have se the movie adaptation (I only learn about this movie from here lol)

(Some people maybe have learned of this book via Internet, like tiktok or other social but I think this is more like a new way for learn about this book so I don't count it because I'm talking more about people who learned of this book when they where younger, some year ago not today but it still a valid way to acknowledge the existence of this book)

I technically learned of this book from another book.

So basically.

When I was like in elementari schools (I think) my father bought a collection of book about math.

I'm not good in math and I wanted to understand it better so I chose one of the books, the one that looked more interesting and I pick one called "The fourth dimension what if our universe is the shadow of another?"

(I translate the title so I don't know If the English version is called differend)

(I found this picture online because I don't have the book with me right now)

So this book use flatland for explain how dimension work and it was very good.

When I tried to read it I was just a child and I never finished or totally understand it (expecially the math part) but I always like the idea of shape with personality, the fisical structure of the world, the house and thing like that so at the end, al lot of years later I'm rereading it and also bought flatlandia because I just love it. I love things about dimension and similar stuff.

So that's it.

I just wanted to share this story because I think it's funny and also because that collection of book is very good even if you don't realy understand math.

Yes, this is a flatland self insert fanart

(One day I will learn how to draw good anatomy, good shoes and hands but today is not the day)
