But when A Square encounters the possibility of a third dimension, his entire understanding of existence is overturned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1884, Edwin A. Abbott's strange and elegant book has endured because it works on several levels at once. It is a playful introduction to dimensions and geometry, a satire of Victorian social order, a fable about intellectual limitation, and an early work of speculative fiction about realities beyond ordinary perception. Its central idea remains wonderfully simple and unsettling: what seems impossible may only be invisible from where we stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in classic science fiction, mathematical fiction, geometry, satire, Victorian literature, and books that use fantasy to challenge the limits of thought will find \u003cem\u003eFlatland\u003c\/em\u003e as fresh and provocative as ever. It remains one of the rare books that can delight students, philosophers, mathematicians, science fiction readers, and anyone who has ever wondered whether reality might contain more than the mind is trained to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43426615951427,"sku":"9781515435716","price":29.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/flatland-a-romance-of-many-dimensions-hardcover-3","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
