{"product_id":"2940170527403","title":"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions","description":"This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years. The work of English clergyman, educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.\u003cbr\u003eThrough strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensions-- a revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his two-dimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author, Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a first-rate fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of space.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169696596208,"sku":"2940170527403","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170527403_p0.jpg?v=1763711508","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170527403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
