Flatland

Meer over het boek

Set in a two-dimensional world, the story follows "A Square," who navigates a society where social status is dictated by geometric shape. Through this narrative, Edwin Abbott critiques the rigid hierarchies of Victorian society while exploring the concept of dimensions. When "A Square" encounters "A Sphere" from a three-dimensional realm, he grapples with the existence of higher dimensions, leading to profound realizations and ultimately his exile. This classic work blends satire with a deep philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality.
