First published in 1920, A Voyage to Arcturus is widely regarded as one of the most original and thought-provoking works of speculative fiction. This visionary novel follows the journey of Maskull, a man transported to the distant planet of Tormance in the Arcturus system. There, he encounters strange landscapes, surreal creatures, and challenging philosophies that test his understanding of existence, morality, and the human spirit.

A blend of science fiction, fantasy, and metaphysical allegory, David Lindsay’s masterpiece has influenced generations of writers, from C.S. Lewis (who called it a major inspiration for Out of the Silent Planet) to modern sci-fi authors. Readers are taken on a cosmic quest that questions the very nature of reality and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
