Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott.
As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella''s more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, the novella is still popular amongst 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.
