Flatland (Annotated): A Romance of Many Dimensions
“I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in Space.”
― Edwin Abbott Abbott, A Romance of Many Dimensions
" I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimension, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality.”
― Edwin Abbott Abbott, A Romance of Many Dimensions
New annotated version of Edwin A. Abbott’s brilliant exploration of theology, mathematics, physics, and social hierarchies, A New Foreword with explanations of its Historical Context, and Suggestions For Use.Author's Preface added in the Second Edition (1884) and His Original Illustrations.Newly Edited Content that has been Reviewed, Revised, and Refined to Enhance the Reading Experience.
Edwin A. Abbott’s renowned work, A Romance of Many Dimensions, is a mathematical "romance" —set in a two-dimensional universe occupied by living geometric figures - squares, triangles, circles, etc. This distinguished 19th-century Christian classic follows its protagonist, A Square, Attorney At Law, on his journeys through lower and higher dimensions. It intelligently explores the concept of a fourth dimension and its connection to the divine, providing readers with an insightful examination of theology, mathematics, and physics, while also creatively satirizing social hierarchies of Victorian England.
Although Flatland had limited success upon its initial release, it gained popularity after the publication of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which highlighted the concept of a fourth dimension. The book has since been translated into numerous languages, including Arabic, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and many others. This 2025 reprint presents an improved and meticulously edited version of the original edition. Flatland is a thought-provoking novel that encourages readers to envision a reality beyond the physical realm.
Blue Harvest Publishing is dedicated to introducing people to the revelation of Jesus Christ through the publication of Christian literature. This book is part of the Blue Harvest Publishing Classics series, selected for its brilliance and ingenuity. Flatland represents an excellent addition to any Christian library.
