{"title":"Edwin A. Abbott","description":"Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), a Victorian of great intellect and wit, enjoyed success not only as a writer, but as a scholar, educator, and theologian. Educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, he was Headmaster of the City of London School from 1865 to 1889. During that time, his progressive belief in the importance of the study of English for every student, even before traditional classic curriculum, led him to write A Shakespearian Grammar (1870) \"to help solve most of the difficulties that will present themselves to boys.\" It ran to three editions within its first year of publication alone and continues to be a touchstone for Shakespearean scholars. In 1884, he wrote Flatland. First considered by many as merely \"a pleasant tonic, and an excellent stimulant for boys,\" it was later recognized as a magnificent work of science fiction, as prophetic as those of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Retiring to a scholarly life in 1889, he produced numerous other works, including Silanus the Christian (1907), Apologia: An Explanation and Defense (1907), Message of the Son of Man (1909), and Light on the Gospel from an Ancient Poet (Odes of Solomon) (1913).","products":[{"product_id":"flatland-a-romance-of-many-dimensions-paperback","title":"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eEdwin A.

In such a country, you will perceive at once that it is impossible that there should be anything of what you call a \"solid\" kind; but I dare say you will suppose that we could at least distinguish by sight the Triangles, Squares, and other figures, moving about as I have described them. On the contrary, we could see nothing of the kind, not at least so as to distinguish one figure from another. Nothing was visible, nor could be visible, to us, except Straight Lines; and the necessity of this I will speedily demonstrate. Place a penny on the middle of one of your tables in Space; and leaning over it, look down upon it. It will appear a circle. But now, drawing back to the edge of the table, gradually lower your eye (thus bringing yourself more and more into the condition of the inhabitants of Flatland), and you will find the penny becoming more and more oval to your view, and at last when you have placed your eye exactly on the edge of the table (so that you are, as it were, actually a Flatlander) the penny will then have ceased to appear oval at all, and will have become, so far as you can see, a straight line. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Large Print in 16 point type.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67576394481887,"sku":"9781495323492","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/s8kBNxWMuR9781495323492.webp?v=1790380413"},{"product_id":"flatland-royal-collectors-edition-case-laminate-hardcover-with-jacket-hardcover","title":"Flatland (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions\u003c\/em\u003e describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, where women are simple line-segments, and men are polygons with various numbers of sides.

The book delves into the political and religious turmoil of the time, as Becket was caught in the middle of a power struggle between King Henry II and the Catholic Church. The author also examines the miracles attributed to Becket after his death, which led to his canonization as a saint. This second volume of the book provides a detailed account of the miracles performed by Becket, as well as the cult that developed around him in the years following his death.

With the use of a geometric theme, Abbott weaves the fascinating tale of \"A Square\", an inhabitant of \"Flatland\", a two-dimensional world where women are portrayed as simple line-segments and men are represented as polygons whose social status is determined by the number and regularity of their sides. Through this device Abbott satirizes the seemingly arbitrary hierarchy of the Victorian era. In addition to a brilliant work of satire \"Flatland\" is a thought-provoking examination of the bounds of physical space. On the eve of the third millennium \"A Square\" dreams of a one-dimensional world, \"Lineland\", that is inhabited by \"lustrous points\". Subsequently he is visited by \"A Sphere\", an inhabitant of a three-dimensional world called \"Spaceland\", which he fails to comprehend until he sees it for himself. Having his mind opened to the existence of other dimensions \"A Square\" posits the theoretical possibility of the existence of four, five, and six dimensional worlds, an idea which gets him thrown out of \"Spaceland\" in disgrace. One of the most original pieces of literature ever written, \"Flatland\" is a witty and satirical adventure that explores the very nature of physical reality itself.
