Table of ContentsReviewsOne of the most imaginative, delightful and, yes, touching works of mathematics, this slender 1884 book purports to be the memoir of A. Square, a citizen of an entirely two-dimensional world. - The Washington Post Book World Flatland has remained of interest for over a century precisely because of its ability to engage its readers on so many different planes in so many different dimensions. - Victorian Studies In 1884, Edwin Abbott wrote a strange and enchanting novella called Flatland, in which a square who lives in a two-dimensional world comes to comprehend the existence of a third dimension but is unable to persuade his compatriots of his discovery. Through the book, Abbott skewered hierarchical Victorian values while simul-taneously giving a glimpse of the mathematics of higher dimensions. - Science News One of the most imaginative, delightful and, yes, touching works of mathematics, this slender 1884 book purports to be the memoir of A.
