Flatland by Edwin Abbott - Part One

Edwin Abbott's new book is called Flatland. The first few chapters are told once, and then they will repeat themselves so that you can fall deep asleep and stay deep asleep. But now is the time for you to fluff up your pillow just how you like it. Feel yourself melt into your bed. Close your eyes. And let me read to you. Part one. Be patient for the world is broad and wide. Section one of the nature of Flatland. I call our world Flatland not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in space.
