A Voyage to Arcturus

A Voyage to Arcturus

ByDavid Lindsay

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Attending a séance in the Hampstead home of wealthy merchant Montague Faull, Maskull receives the most extraordinary invitation: to take a trip to distant Tormance, a habitable planet orbiting the binary star Arcturus. Unable to refuse so bizarre an opportunity, the adventurous Maskull soon finds himself on a journey far stranger than he could ever have imagined. First published in 1920, A Voyage to Arcturus has attracted praise from the likes of C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Colin Wilson, Michael Moorcock, Clive Barker and Alan Moore, and continues to fascinate readers to this day. Many modern editions of A Voyage to Arcturus use an edited, modernised version of the original text. With this hardback, produced after consulting the 1920 first edition, the intention is to provide a reliable, corrected text for serious students of David Lindsay’s work, and for anyone who wants to read an authentic version of this classic novel.
