Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott

Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott

The fourth dimension, humor, satire, and logic combine into a science-fiction classic that has entertained generations.

One of the most imaginative, delightful and, yes, touching works of mathematics, this slender 1884 book purports to be the memoir of ASquare, a citizen of an entirely two-dimensional world. The Washington Post Book World Flatland has remained of interest for over a century precisely because of its ability to engage its readers on so many different planes in so many different dimensions. Victorian Studies

Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838-1926), the author of more than fifty books on classics, theology, history, and Shakespeare, was headmaster of the City of London School and one of the leading educators of his time. Thomas Banchoff is professor emeritus of mathematics at Brown University and author of Beyond the Third Dimension.
