"Flatland" is a unique, delightful satire that has charmed readers
for over a century. Published in 1884 by the English clergyman and
headmaster Edwin A. Abbott, it is the fanciful tale of A. Square, a
two-dimensional being who is whisked away by a mysterious visitor
to The Land of Three Dimensions, an experience that forever alters
his worldview.
Like the original, Ian Stewart's commentary takes readers on a
strange and wonderful journey. With clarity and wit, Stewart
illuminates Abbott's numerous Victorian references and touches on
such diverse topics as ancient Babylon, Karl Marx, Mary Shelley's
"Frankenstein," Mt. Everest, H.G. Wells, and phrenology. "The
Annotated Flatland" makes fascinating connections between
"Flatland" and Abbott's era, resulting in a classic to rival
Abbott's own, and a book that will inspire and delight curious
readers for generations to come.
