Description:Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (1884) follows A Square, a meticulous denizen of a plane, whose encounters with Lineland, Spaceland, and the ineffable Pointland expose both the possibilities and the peril of thinking beyond one's dimension. Written in the crisp idiom of Euclidean manuals yet edged with Swiftian satire, the narrative skewers Victorian hierarchies—class, gender, and intellectual dogma—while staging a lucid primer in dimensional analogy. The Illustrated Edition underscores Abbott's didactic architecture, rendering polygons, angles, and shadow-visions with clarity that illuminates the book's logical puzzles and philosophical provocation. Edwin A. Abbott—schoolmaster, theologian, and classicist—served as head of the City of London School, where he championed rigorous yet humane pedagogy. His training in classical rhetoric and biblical criticism sharpened his appetite for allegory and epistemic humility. Flatland distills those commitments, marrying mathematical instruction to a critique of authoritarian certainties, whether scholastic, scientific, or ecclesiastical. This edition suits readers of the history of ideas, mathematics educators, and lovers of speculative fiction alike. The diagrams make its dimensional metaphors immediately graspable, while the satire remains bracingly current. Approach it as a geometry lesson that becomes a moral education in intellectual hospitality. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted.
