Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Illustrated Edition)

Abbott's 'Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Illustrated Edition)', readers are transported to a unique world where geometric shapes exist and interact in a society defined by rigid hierarchy based on the number of their sides.

Written in the form of a social satire, Abbott uses geometric figures to critique the Victorian society of his time and to examine the complexities of dimensions beyond our comprehension. The inclusion of illustrations expands upon the narrative, enhancing the reader's visual understanding of this multi-dimensional world. Abbott's writing style is both thought-provoking and playful, making this book a classic work of mathematical fiction. Edwin A. Abbott was a schoolmaster and theologian with a keen interest in mathematics.
