About this ebook
One of the most original and acclaimed science fiction novels of the twentieth century
This landmark work of speculative fiction follows the adventurer Maskull as he travels to Tormance, the lone planet revolving around the double star system Arcturus. Each new land that Maskull visits is ruled by a different philosophy, and he must navigate each in succession as his body changes in response to the varying environments in which he finds himself. Never sure of his surroundings, Maskull must determine what we will and will not do to survive—a metaphysical inquiry that propels him toward an unforgettable final realization.
A major influence on C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, A Voyage to Arcturus is a surreal and masterful investigation into the meaning of good and evil, the nature of God, and the origins of the universe.

Like Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and Roger Dean's works came alive in a crazy Sci-Fi fantasy novel. This one really takes an open mind to absorb. The lines between science and fantasy are blurred with visions which could have resulted from mind altering hallucinogens. An amazing story of a trip (journey). Hard to believe it was written in 1920! Two thumbs up!

Plodded along, all about spiritual suffering and the evil weaknesses caused by anything feminine.
