A Voyage to Arcturus
Summary
A stunning achievement in speculative fiction, which critic Colin Wilson called the "greatest novel of the 20th century". A Voyage to Arcturus has inspired, enchanted, and unsettled audiences for decades. It is simultaneously an epic quest across one of the most unusual and brilliantly depicted alien worlds ever conceived, a profoundly moving journey of discovery into the metaphysical heart of the universe, and a shockingly intimate excursion into what makes us human and unique. After a strange interstellar journey, Maskull, a man from Earth, awakens alone in a desert on the planet Tormance, seared by the suns of the binary star Arcturus. In a sort of agnostic's Pilgrim's Progress, he journeys northward, guided by a drumbeat, encountering a world and its inhabitants like no other, where gender is a victory won at dear cost; where landscape and emotion are drawn into an accursed dance; where heroes are killed, reborn, and renamed; and where the cosmological lures of Shaping, who may be God, torment Maskull in his astonishing pilgrimage. At the end of his arduous and increasingly mystical quest waits a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation. Influential on such fantasy notables as C. S. Lewis and Philip Pullman, A Voyage to Arcturus was the first novel by writer David Lindsay (1878–1945), and it remains one of the most revered cornerstones of science fiction.

A Voyage to Arcturus
Summary
On a whim, a man takes a trip to the stars offered by a relative stranger...and within four days, he's murdered six people, fallen in love, and met God twice. Don't worry about the third ear growing on his forehead. Or that pesky third arm. Written in 1920, David Lindsay's seminal work of science fiction is the first of its kind to introduce allegorical writing to the budding genre, examining in fanciful, colorful, and often hallucinogenic strokes the nature of good, evil, and life itself told through the lens of an epic journey across a treacherous alien world. A classic in its time, both H.P. Lovecraft and JRR Tolkien mentioned it as an influence in their own famous works, and this is evident in the mystic powers, strange creatures, and memorable characters met along the way. This audiobook is voiced by the classically trained actor Jason Keller, so sit back, relax, and let David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus take you beyond the stars.
