Description

Flatland is populated by Squares, Triangles, Circles, and Lines, all of which are strictly divided by class and gender.

However, our narrator, A Square, living a practical life in this two-dimensional universe, dreams of other worlds.

Perhaps A Sphere, a figure from a three-dimensional realm, can help drive home the point.

But, as A Square soon discovers, educating Flatland about the shapes of things to come proves to be a dangerous infraction. Published in 1884, Abbott's intricately imaginative novella, which became a classic in the era of Einstein, was a skewering of social hierarchy that inspired Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and anyone who dared to think-literally-outside the box.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling.

Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds. Revised edition: Previously published as Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, this edition of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
