Chapter XV – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XV begins with a confession that strips away pride and pretense, as the protagonist recounts the entirety of his journey to a woman whose hardened exterior conceals a warm heart. His tale of otherworldly arrival, unspoken devotion, and the hazards faced alongside Heru is received not with skepticism but with compassion. Her expression softens, her emotions breaking through the surface as she pledges her support with conviction that stuns him. This act of trust and kindness, given so freely,…-

Chapter XVI – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XVI opens as the protagonist takes a pivotal step in his Martian odyssey by securing passage aboard a merchant vessel. Serving as supercargo, he finds himself immersed in the rhythms of Martian life, where the chants of the rowers echo like ancient lullabies against the stillness of the canals. These chants, haunting and repetitive, deepen his sense of dislocation from Earth and sharpen his awareness of how truly alien this world has become. The capital, upon arrival, bursts with vivid…-

Chapter XVII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XVII begins with the stirring sight of Ar-hap’s return, his army trailing behind like the weary wind. The land remains gripped by drought, and overhead, a bright comet cuts through the dusty sky like a warning. As the gates open and the soldiers trudge in, the air thickens with tension, not celebration. The once-proud forces now limp into their city with hollow eyes and scorched armor. Among them, rumors spread like dry brushfire—of the stranger who dared to claim Heru, the captive princess.…-

Chapter XVIII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XVIII opens with an unforgiving sun bearing down on a land parched to its core. The heat, searing and suffocating, leaves no creature untouched. Trees wilt, soil cracks, and the air hangs thick with stillness. Every movement is an effort; every breath feels borrowed. Heru, usually poised, now rests with hollow eyes and cracked lips, her royal composure worn thin by the unrelenting drought. The protagonist, too, is drained, body aching and mind dulled by the monotony of thirst. Even animals stagger…-

Chapter XIX – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XIX opens with tension concealed beneath the quiet hush of a Martian morning. Gulliver and Heru, cloaked in mist and uncertainty, guide their fragile boat through still waters, aware that a single sound could betray them. The war-canoe of their pursuers cuts through the fog like a shadow of fate. Yet, luck favors the bold. The soldiers sense something but dismiss the notion with grumbling indifference, swayed by what they assume is empty water. As the enemy drifts away, Gulliver and Heru push…-

Chapter XX – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XX brings the protagonist back into the heart of Martian civilization, only to find himself more disconnected than ever. While the people burst into celebration at the return of Princess Heru, he feels a strange distance from their joy. Their enthusiasm seems shallow, focused on flowers, music, and pageantry rather than the looming reality of conflict. The protagonist, once hailed as a savior, is now barely acknowledged. His concerns about the enemy remain unspoken by the crowd, swallowed in the…-

Section 1 introduces a world unlike ours—Flatland—a place confined entirely to two dimensions. The name is not used by its inhabitants, but it serves to help three-dimensional readers understand the limitations of life in such a plane. Imagine a sheet of paper where geometric shapes—Lines, Triangles, Squares, and more—move freely along the surface. They cannot rise above or sink below it. These figures aren’t drawn or imagined; they are living, thinking beings, each defined by their sides and…

Section 2 introduces the geographical orientation and architectural norms of Flatland, where the inhabitants navigate using a unique sense of direction. Unlike in Spaceland, there are no visible celestial bodies, so determining North cannot rely on stars or sunlight. Instead, nature itself supplies a solution through a subtle but constant attraction toward the South. In milder regions, this pull is barely noticeable, yet it’s sufficient for most people to find their bearings. Rain also always falls from…

Section 3 explores the social structure of Flatland through both its geometry and strict hierarchy. Buildings in populated areas must follow a legal standard that ensures safety by limiting sharp angles, with pentagonal forms being the lowest acceptable design. This reflects a broader cultural shift, where even architecture mirrors the drive toward symmetry and refinement. Only in remote, undeveloped regions might a square house still be found—an architectural relic seen more as a curiosity than a…
