Flatland, by Edwin A. Abbott, is mentioned in some of the articles in this web site. In order that the reader understand the background of the articles, we are giving a gift to the visitor: a free copy of Flatland, the book that made history. Flatland is the fascinating story of the people that live in world that unlike our space, theirs is only of two dimensions. People living there are unable to imagine a world with three dimensions like ours.
This book is a must-read to the understanding of the fourth dimension because we are in a similar situation like A. Square, the main the character that was imprisoned accused of perverting the Flatlanders by preaching that there is another dimension beyond theirs.
What can we expect to see if we are visited by a hypersphere from the fourth dimension? Well, A. Square was visited by a Sphere from our dimensions. This is just one of his adventures and tribulations. This highly imaginative book is now available in a high quality PDF format with the author’s original drawings.
