Details: A work that still poses provocative questions about perception and reality, flatland is a brilliant parody of Victorian society where all existence is limited to length and breadth - its inhabitants unable even to imagine a third dimension. The abominable narrator, a. Square, 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 incredulous flatlander to the land of three dimensions, his world view is forever shattered. Written more than a century ago, flatland offers an extraordinary animation of dimension, Geometry and physical space that continues to resonate in contemporary Science.
