Descrição do Produto
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.
