Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

Front Cover
Emerson, 1982 - Fourth dimension - 123 pages
Narrated by A. Square, Flatland is Edwin A. Abbott's delightful mathematical fantasy about life in a two-dimensional world. All existence is limited to length and breadth in Flatland, its inhabitants unable even to imagine a third dimension. Abbott's amiable narrator 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 incredredulous Flatlander to the Land of Three Dimensions, his worldview is forever shattered.
