The book that influenced writers from Carl Sagan to Stephen Hawking, Flatland is set in a two-dimensional world where life exists only in lines and shapes - until one of its inhabitants, ''A. Square'', has his perspective transformed forever. This brilliantly eccentric classic is an invitation to see beyond our own reality.

''At once a playful brainteaser about geometry, a pointed satire of Victorian manners - and a strangely compelling argument about the greatest mysteries of the Universe'' Wall Street Journal

''Flatland could lead to very profound thought about our Universe and ourselves'' Isaac Asimov

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.
