With this satirical novella, English schoolmaster Edwin A. Abbott provides both a mathematical fantasy and pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. The narrator, A. Square, resides in the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland. When he is visited by a sphere, he is suddenly faced with proof of the existence of three dimensions and is forced to see the limitations of his world.

In a foreword to one of the many publications of this novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as "the best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, this novella is still popular among mathematics, physics, and computer science students.

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.
