The work of English clergyman, educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.\u003cbr\u003eThrough strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensions--a revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his two-dimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author, Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a first-rate fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of space. Instructive, entertaining, and stimulating to the imagination. -- \u003ci\u003eMathematics Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45298536153239,"sku":"9780486272634","price":265.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486272634.webp?v=1769284363","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/flatland-a-romance-of-many-dimensions-9780486272634","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
