Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Voyage to Arcturus" by David Lindsay is a novel published in 1920. The book follows Maskull's journey through Tormance, a strange planet orbiting Arcturus, where each landscape represents different philosophical systems and states of consciousness. As Maskull's body transforms with alien organs and he encounters mysterious beings, he searches for the meaning of reality itself. This visionary work blends science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy to explore the nature of good, evil, and existence—a bold metaphysical adventure that influenced C.S. Lewis and captivated J.R.R. Tolkien.
