"One of the most imaginative, delightful and, yes, touching works
of mathematics, this slender 1884 book purports to be the memoir of
A. Square, 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
"In 1884, Edwin Abbott wrote a strange and enchanting novella
called Flatland, in which a square who lives in a two-dimensional
world comes to comprehend the existence of a third dimension but is
unable to persuade his compatriots of his discovery. Through the
book, Abbott skewered hierarchical Victorian values while
simul-taneously giving a glimpse of the mathematics of higher
dimensions." - Science News
