Edwin A. Abbot's (aka "A Square") was a prominent 19th century Christian theologian. His "Flatland" served as a biting critique of the elitist attitude embodied in England at the time and doubled as a provocative portrayal of the Christian doctrine of the incarnation. The premise of the book would prove to be an inspiration to numerous science fiction authors of the 20th century. This edition features the original illustrations created by Abbot.

Autorenporträt
Edwin A. Abbott was born on December 20, 1838 in Middlesex, England. He was an ordained priest, a theologian, and headmaster of The City of London School until his retirement in 1889. He was the author of twelve books on topics ranging from grammar to religious romance. Flatland, by far his most enduring work, has become a classic that resists categorization-a feat of imagination that remains ahead of its time.
