Flatland is a thought-provoking exploration of perception and reality, cleverly parodying Victorian society through a world confined to two dimensions. The story follows A. Square, a friendly narrator who guides readers through the unique physics, metaphysics, history, customs, and religious beliefs of this two-dimensional realm.
