"Ich nenne unsere Welt Fiatland. Nicht weil wir sie so nennen, sondern um Ihnen, meinen glücklichen Lesern, die Sie das Vorrecht genießen in der dreidimensionalen Welt zu leben, ihre Beschaffenheit besser zu verdeutlichen. Stellen Sie sich ein großes Blatt Papier vor, auf oder in dessen Oberfläche sich gerade Linien, Dreiecke, Vierecke, Fünfecke, Sechsecke und andere Figuren frei bewegen, anstatt fest an ihrem Platz zu bleiben, ohne sich jedoch nach oben oder unten aus dem Blatt heraus bewegen zu können, fast wie Schatten - nur beständig und mit leuchtenden Seiten. So erhalten Sie einen ziemlich treffenden Eindruck von meinem Land und meinen Landsleuten. Ach, bis vor ein paar Jahren hätte ich noch gesagt von meinem Universum. Doch in der Zwischenzeit wurde mein Geist zu höheren Einsichten geöffnet." So beginnt Edwin A. Abbott, der unter dem Pseudonym "A Square" ("ein Quadrat"), eines Einwohners der zweidimensionalen Welt von Fiatland schreibt, seine phantastische Geschichte über viele Dimensionen. Abbotts Schrift ist eine Satire auf die Gesellschaft im England des viktorianischen Zeitalters. Ebenso ist sie ein mathematisch-philosophisches Gedankenexperiment. A Square versucht vergeblich, Bewohnern von null- und eindimensionalen Welten die Existenz einer zweiten Raumdimension zu erklären. Als er Besuch von einer Kugel bekommt, die ihm die Existenz einer dritten Raumdimension verkündet, ist er zunächst skeptisch, bis ihn die Kugel auf eine Reise in die dritte Dimension mitnimmt. Der Versuch, nach seiner Rückkehr seinen Landsleuten die Existenz der dritten Dimension zu verkündet, scheitert.Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926) war Altphilologe, Mathematiker und anglikanischer Theologe. 1865 wurde er Direktor der City of London School. Er verfasste zahlreiche Schriften. Sein 1884 unter einem Pseudonym veröffentlichtes Werk "Fiatland" gehört zu den modernen Klassikern der Literatur.

Flatland, Edwin Abbott's story of a two-dimensional universe, as told by one of its inhabitants who is introduced to the mysteries of three-dimensional space, has enjoyed an enduring popularity from the time of its publication in 1884. This fully annotated edition enables the modern-day reader to understand and appreciate the many 'dimensions' of this classic satire. Mathematical notes and illustrations enhance the usefulness of Flatland as an elementary introduction to higher-dimensional geometry. Historical notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to classical Greece. Citations from Abbott's other writings as well as the works of Plato and Aristotle serve to interpret the text. Commentary on language and literary style includes numerous definitions of obscure words. An appendix gives a comprehensive account of the life and work of Flatland's remarkable author.

This print edition of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions contains all of the original and vital illustrations, allowing the reader to comprehend the geometry described in the satirical story.First published in the 1880s, Flatland is a playful satire of the hierarchical class structure which Abbott perceived as defining the Victorian society in which he lived. The titular country has a population consisting of different shapes; their shape denotes their place in the society - the more sides the shape has, and the more regular their shape, the higher the place they occupy in the social strata.The ordinary, day-to-day existence of the author (A. Square) is brought into question when he experiences a dream. In it a shape with depth, a Sphere, announces its existence and origin in Spaceland; a place with a third dimension. Thrilled by the revelation, the Square postulates that perhaps there are actually four, five or more dimensions constituting the world.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Edwin Abbott was a mathematician who used the idea of 'Flatland' - a world of just two dimensions - to poke fun at caste-ridden Victorian Society. The book also allowed him to explore the nature of dimensions and our own perceptual limitations. In the book a three-dimensional being can view the workings of 'Flatland' yet remains invisible to its two-dimensional inhabitants. Abbott then leads the reader into the contemplation of new dimensions that may yet exist beyond our own 'real world' of height, width and length. Similar developments in Modern Physics have greatly increased 'Flatland's' popular appeal, with Isaac Asimov hailing the book as "the best introduction into... perceiving dimensions".
