{"product_id":"9780465011230","title":"The Annotated Flatland : A Romance of Many Dimensions by Ian Stewart","description":"Flatland  is a unique, delightful satire that has charmed readers for over a century. Published in 1884 by the English clergyman and headmaster Edwin A. Abbott, it is the fanciful tale of A. Square, a two-dimensional being who is whisked away by a mysterious visitor to The Land of Three Dimensions, an experience that forever alters his worldview. Like the original, Ian Stewart's commentary takes readers on a strange and wonderful journey. With clarity and wit, Stewart illuminates Abbott's numerous Victorian references and touches on such diverse topics as ancient Babylon, Karl Marx, Mary Shelley's  Frankenstein , Mt. Everest, H.G. Wells, and phrenology.  The Annotated Flatland  makes fascinating connections between  Flatland  and Abbott's era, resulting in a classic to rival Abbott's own, and a book that will inspire and delight curious readers for generations to come.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311766417781,"sku":"9780465011230","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780465011230.jpg?v=1762819234","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780465011230","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
