Square, a mathematician and resident of the twodimensional Flatland, where womenthin, straight linesare the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensionsa revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his twodimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author, Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a firstrate fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of space.
