About this book

In a world defined by geometric shapes and rigid social hierarchies, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin Abbott Abbott explores the limitations of perception and understanding. Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, this satirical novella introduces readers to the rigid lives of Squares and Triangles, who are oblivious to the existence of dimensions beyond their own. Through the lens of social commentary, Abbott challenges the notion of hierarchy and conformity, while also delving into themes of enlightenment and ignorance. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking work invites readers to question their own dimensional constraints and consider the vast possibilities that lie beyond their immediate perceptions.
