A Voyage to Arcturus Summary

A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay

'Extraordinary' Philip Pullman

Following one man's journey from earth to an alien landscape of ethereal beauty and existential terror, A Voyage to Arcturus is a profound questioning of the nature of evil. Dreamlike and philosophical, this landmark cult novel has influenced generations of writers.

'That shattering, intolerable and irresistible work' C. S. Lewis

'A Nietzschean Pilgrim's Progress ... Lindsay's engrossing book, a mixture of metaphysics and surreal dream-quest, stands as one of the great originals' Guardian

A Voyage to Arcturus Reviews

The book I think is most underrated: David Lindsey, A Voyage To Arcturus. -- Philip Pullman

Lindsay's engrossing book, a mixture of metaphysics and surreal dream-quest, stands as one of the great originals. * Guardian *

About David Lindsay

David Lindsay (1876-1945) was a Scottish novelist. His initial career, as an insurance clerk in London, was interrupted by his service in World War One. After the war, Lindsay moved to Cornwall to pursue writing. His first novel, A Voyage to Arcturus, sold poorly but over time became a cult favourite and had a profound influence on generations of writers and critics, including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Harold Bloom, and Philip Pullman. It is now considered a masterpiece of metaphysical science-fiction, and David Lindsay a pioneer of the form.
