{"product_id":"flatland-9781434105196","title":"Flatland","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlatland is uniquely both a social critique and a primer on multi-dimensional geometry. Written in two parts in 1884 by Edwin A. Abbott, an English mathematician and theologian, it tells the story of a square living in Flatland: a two-dimensional realm. After a dream of a restrictive one-dimensional existence and the difficulties this poses, he is visited by a sphere from a three-dimensional space who wishes to enlighten him into the ways of \"Upward, yet not Northward.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdwin A. Abbott wrote other theological fiction and non-fiction (including several biographies), but he is best remembered for Flatland. While it was mostly forgotten after publication, it received a revived interest from the 1960s onwards, and has more recently had several sequels and film adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete and unabridged, with the original illustrations by the author. Newly designed and typeset.
