About this book

A resident of Flatland describes a society of living geometric figures confined to a plane, where every other shape appears as a line. An encounter with a Sphere challenges this narrator's understanding of space. Abbott's mathematical fiction uses the limits of ordinary perception and the possibility of higher dimensions to question assumptions about reality and social order.

About the author

Edwin A. Abbott - BDeBooks
Edwin A. Abbott

Abbott ran the City of London School for twenty-four years, taking the headmastership in 1865 at the age of twenty-six and leaving it in 1889. He made chemistry and English literature compulsory, and H. H. Asquith passed through his classrooms. Most of his output was theology and philology, including a Shakespearian Grammar of 1870 that scholars still cite.
