Description
In the century since its publication in England, Flatland has charmed and fascinated generations of readers with its witty satire of Victorian society and its unique insights, by analogy, into the fourth dimension. The author, posing as a square inhabitant of a two-dimensional world, first describes his country- its geography and architecture, its class structure and social customs- in terms reminiscent of Gulliver’s Travels. He then tells of his visions of Lineland and Pointland, his trip to Spaceland, and his fate when he preaches the third dimension to his countrymen.
