Flatland - A Romance of Many Dimensions #843241

A book that combines science fiction, satire of Victorian society and politics, proving to be a great literary allegory. The illustrated world is populated by Squares, Triangles, Circles and Lines living in a two-dimensional universe, all strictly divided by class and gender. The narrator is precisely one of them, a Square. He will guide readers into his world by explaining the brilliant implications of two-dimensional life. Later, however, he will tell of his discovery of other, more geometrically complex universes such as the three-dimensional one, represented by his encounter with a Sphere. Thus begins a true journey of knowledge, which will lead him to that which can hardly be conceived by the mind. A unique book that has become a cult object by the scientific community and beyond.
