Sinossi

Illustrated Edition: Enriched with 20 intricate illustrations exploring the fantastical dimensions!
	 Inclusive Content: Comes with a detailed summary, characters list, and an inspiring author biography!
	 Unleash Imagination: Dive into a universe that promises a blend of mathematical intrigue and sociopolitical allegory!

Embark on a journey beyond the confines of our familiar dimensions with Edwin A. Abbott’s immortal masterpiece, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions."
Crafted not merely as a novel, but as a bridge between disparate worlds of understanding, this unique illustrated edition invites you to traverse the mesmerizing realms that blend mathematics, philosophy, and social satire into a singular, unparalleled narrative.
"Flatland" unveils the story of A. Square, a resident of a two-dimensional world where life, in all its complexity, unfolds on a singular plane. But the tranquility of Flatland is jolted as A. Square is confronted by the Sphere, a visitor from a three-dimensional world called Spaceland, whose revelations shatter the simplistic foundations of A. Square’s understanding and societal norms.
Delve into a narrative that seamlessly navigates through the fascinating geometrical landscapes, and simultaneously, reflects the stark, divisive social hierarchies of Victorian England. The additional illustrations in this edition meticulously curate and amplify the visual experience, providing readers with a graphical journey through the surreal worlds contained within the text.
Explore, within these pages, a tale that transcends its geometric confines, breaking through into metaphysical contemplations and existential dialogues. A. Square's ventures from the absolute of his known reality to the perplexities of higher dimensions unravel not merely as a personal evolution but as an allegory, posing perennial questions about perception, knowledge, and the acceptance of the beyond.
This edition provides an enriched reading experience by accompanying your journey with a detailed summary, a comprehensive characters list, and an evocative biography of Edwin A. Abbott, ensuring a multi-faceted exploration of the narrative, its creator, and the underlying themes encapsulated within.
Unshackle your imagination, and allow it to wander into the flat plains and beyond, contemplating the infinities that perhaps linger, unseen, unexplored, and waiting to be discovered in dimensions beyond our own. Witness "Flatland" not merely as a narrative but as an eternal dialogue between reality and possibility.

Grab your copy of "Flatland," and let the wonders of unseen dimensions unfold before you!

    'It's funny about passing... we disapprove of it and at the same time condone it. It excites our contempt and yet we rather admire it.'
    
    First published in 1929 and based upon Larsen's own experiences with colourism, Passing is a profound exploration of identity, race and sexuality.
    
    Old childhood friends – Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield – are thrown together once again after losing touch in their adulthood, forced to contend with the stark differences in their lifestyles. Clare, an ambitious, fair-skinned woman, is married to a racist white man who is unsuspecting of her black roots. Irene, meanwhile, sits on the committee for the 'Negro Welfare League', embracing her origins. Uncomfortable with Clare's attempts at 'passing' as white, Irene tries to cultivate distance between the two of them. But Clare is persistent, and begins to reintegrate herself into the black community to devastating consequences… Tragic, deeply moving and an incisive commentary on colourism, Passing established Larsen as a leading writer of the twentieth century.
    Nella Larsen (1891 – 1964) was an American novelist and short story writer. A prominent literary figure during the Harlem Renaissance and American modernist movement, Larsen's works have been lauded by contemporaries and critics alike. Today, she is remembered for her two novels, Quicksand and Passing, which explored race, identity and sexuality.

    The doctor of a Barsetshire village has a niece with no name and no money, and the young squire whose estate is mortgaged to a railway navvy's fortune wants to marry her. Trollope wrote before breakfast, by his watch, 250 words a quarter-hour, and thought this the best plot he ever had — chiefly because his brother gave it to him. It is the warmest of the Barsetshire novels and the most exact about what money does. Fifty-eight plates of cottage, cornfield and village church by painters such as Constable and Bosboom carry the plain English countryside through the novel's quiet dealings in money and marriage.
