Description

Description from Open Library (opens in a new tab)

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. Spoken by Horatio, in William Shakespeare's Hamlet, act 1, scene 5, line 164. Hamlet has just been conversing with his father's ghost, who is now speaking from under the stage. 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.
