Description
Scottish novelist David Lindsay's debut novel, A Voyage to Arcturus, was published in 1920 and has since become a highly influential work of science fiction. Initially selling less than six hundred copies, it has been recognized as an important "underground" novel of the 20th century. The story follows Muskall, a Scot who travels to an imaginary planet orbiting Arcturus after a séance at an Observatory. There, he encounters various characters and lands that serve as a critique of philosophical systems. This fascinating combination of fantasy and philosophical reflection has made A Voyage to Arcturus a lasting influence on writers of the genre. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, ensuring a high-quality reading experience.
