<DIV><B>The beloved science fiction classic </B><BR /><BR />In Flatland, the more sides a man has, the more powerful he is. Triangles are laborers and soldiers. Squares and pentagons are middle-class doctors and lawyers. Hexagons are nobility. Women, however, are straight lines, incapable of advancement in a two-dimensional world. Everything in Flatland is clear-cut and orderly, until the day an average citizen&mdash;a Square&mdash;dreams of a land of three dimensions. If three dimensions are possible, why not four? Or one? Soon, the Square&rsquo;s provocative imagination and corresponding adventures threaten to turn the whole of Flatland against him.<BR />&#160;<BR />First published in 1884, two decades before Einstein&rsquo;s theory of relativity defined time as the fourth dimension, Edwin Abbott&rsquo;s <I>Flatland </I>is both a prescient exploration of the unseen and a delightful skewering of Victorian social strictures.<BR />&#160;<BR />This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.<BR /></DIV>
