Flatland: The Movie Edition: A Journey of Many Dimensions
by Edwin A. Abbott and Thomas Banchoff

Flatland: The Movie Edition: A Journey of Many Dimensions Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


Edwin Abbott's beloved mathematical adventure novel Flatland (1884) is being introduced to a whole new generation of readers and viewers through Flatland: The Movie, a dramatic computer-animated adaptation starring Martin Sheen, Kristen Bell, Michael York, Tony Hale, and Joe Estevez. This book is the companion to the movie, and the ultimate edition of the classic book on which it is based. A beautiful, large-format volume, Flatland: The Movie Edition includes:
  • The full text of the original novel
  • The screenplay of the movie
  • Essays on the making of the movie by the writers and filmmakers: producer Seth Caplan, director Jeffrey Travis, and director and animator Dano Johnson
  • Color illustrations
  • A new introduction by Thomas Banchoff, a Brown University mathematician and Flatland authority who served as an advisor to the filmmakers
By describing the challenges the filmmakers faced in updating a Victorian mathematical allegory for a new generation and transforming it into a compelling animated story, Flatland: The Movie Edition makes watching the movie and reading Abbott's book even more illuminating and enjoyable. You'll never think about the multiple dimensions of space in the same way again.

Review:

"The ultimate edition of the classic book." Providence Journal

Review:

"[T]his classic story has been reinterpreted as a gloriously vivid movie that will excite both children and adults. This book completes the movie experience by providing the original book, the screenplay of the movie, and comments by the filmmakers." Discover Magazine

Review:

"Flatland has inspired many sequels over the years since its publication, but the epithet 'original and best' strikes me as apt. Abbott displays marvelously playful inventiveness and sharp satirical intent....It remains a splendidly readable book for formative minds of all ages." Mathematical Gazette

Review:

"Flatland has and always will be a fun and fascinating journey, showing us again how the world of mathematics can expand the mind and take the imagination to places where it didn't know it could play." Danica McKellar, author of Math Doesn't Suck

Review:

"A fascinating look behind the scenes of the best Flatland movie yet. Long live A Square!" Rudy Rucker, author of The Fourth Dimension
