A Voyage to Arcturus
David Lindsay
First published in 1920, A Voyage to Arcturus is an intriguing, surreal and thought-provoking novel. Ostensibly the tale of an epic journey to an alien planet, the novel serves as a metaphysical allegory.

As he journeys northwards, encountering blood-stained landscapes that embody various philosophies and lifestyles, Maskull pursues the divine essence of the world. At the end of his arduous and increasingly mystical quest he finds a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation. Decades ahead of its time, A Voyage to Arcturus is a philosophical exploration into the very essence of what makes us human. In its own time the book was praised by influential figures such as C.S.
