A work that still poses provocative questions about perception and reality, Flatland is a brilliant parody of Victorian society where all existence is limited to length and breadth - its inhabitants unable even to imagine a third dimension. The amiable narrator, A. Square, provides an overview of this fantastic world - its physics and metaphysics, its history, customs and religious beliefs. But when a strange visitor mysteriously appears and transports the incredulous Flatlander to the Land of Three Dimensions, his worldview is forever shattered.

Written more than a century ago, Flatland offers an extraordinary animation of dimension, geometry and physical space that continues to resonate in contemporary science.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Edwin A. Abbott

Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926) nasceu e viveu em Londres, Inglaterra. Dedicou-se principalmente ao ensino, tendo sido diretor da prestigiada City of London School, de 1865 (com apenas 26 anos) a 1889. Foi um estudioso de Shakespeare e um ávido escritor, tendo publicado mais de 50 títulos. Apesar de ter vivido no período vitoriano, altamente conservador e sectário, acreditava numa sociedade mais equilibrada – bem patente no irónico universo que criou em Flatland -, tendo defendido a educação para todos, independentemente do género do indivíduo ou do seu estrato social.
