Beschreibung

A book that combines science fiction, satire of Victorian society and politics, proving to be a great literary allegory. The illustrated world is populated by Squares, Triangles, Circles and Lines living in a two-dimensional universe, all strictly divided by class and gender. The narrator is precisely one of them, a Square. He will guide readers into his world by explaining the brilliant implications of two-dimensional life. Later, however, he will tell of his discovery of other, more geometrically complex universes such as the three-dimensional one, represented by his encounter with a Sphere. Thus begins a true journey of knowledge, which will lead him to that which can hardly be conceived by the mind. A unique book that has become a cult object by the scientific community and beyond.

    Louisa May Alcott’s Aunt Kipp is a warm and witty tale of family trials, truth-telling children, and the reform of a difficult relative. 
    Polly Snow, her frail mother, and her mischievous younger brother “Toady” struggle to make ends meet while depending on the uncertain goodwill of their wealthy but domineering Aunt Kipp. With her towering black bonnet, sharp tongue, and constant reminders of her fragile health, Aunt Kipp seems to hold her fortune—and their future—over them like a storm cloud. But through humor, honesty, and unexpected affection, this domestic comedy reveals the power of kindness and change of heart. 
    Filled with Alcott’s trademark blend of sentiment, humor, and social observation, Aunt Kipp is both a sharp portrait of Victorian family life and a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to love and be loved.
