Description
Fifty Years in the Flatland 2012 will mark the 50th anniversary in print with Dover of one of the
most significant and influential books of the past century and a half. The mathematical, satirical,
and religious allegory Flatland by a little-known but immensely prolific Victorian English
schoolmaster and theologian Edwin Abbott Abbott, was first published anonymously in England in
1884 — Abbott wrote it under the name 'A Square.' The unique geometrical romance which is
Flatland posited a world and its inhabitants that exist in only two dimensions and forces the reader
captivated by the originality of this central idea to think deeply about the meaning of such a world.
Generations of readers and students swept into the romance and fascination of geometry and
other branches of mathematics and philosophy owe their introduction to this world to Flatland,
which continues to entertain and stimulate new readers today, still going strong 126 years after the
first edition was launched. Abbott revised the text somewhat for a second edition published just a
few months after the first. Dover's 1952 edition was the first American reprinting of the amended
second English edition and was published with a new Introduction by physicist Banesh Hoffmann.
From the Book: 'I CALL our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature
clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of
paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures,
instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the
power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows — only hard and with luminous
edges — and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a
few years ago, I should have said 'my universe': but now my mind has been opened to higher
views of things.' Read more
