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!

    In the comfortable English Dorsetshire village of Anneypenny in the 1930s, fruit farmer Douglas Sewell – narrator of the story – sees his friend John die in agony. The death certificate states gastric ulcers but the post mortem’s revealing of poison punctures Anneypenny’s idyllic backdrop. Soon every friend and neighbour seems to harbour something suspicious. Douglas challenges his readers, or listeners, to answer the key questions before throwing out several scenarios and turning them upside-down in a tantalising path to the truth. 
    A journalist as well as a novelist, Anthony Berkeley was a founding member of the Detection Club and one of crime fiction’s greatest innovators. He was one of the first to predict the development of the ‘psychological’ crime novel.
