A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay is a philosophical science fiction novel that follows Maskull, a man who travels to the distant planet Tormance, orbiting the star Arcturus, in search of truth and meaning. On Tormance, Maskull encounters bizarre landscapes and beings, each representing different philosophies, moral systems, and ways of perceiving reality. As he journeys through the planet, he undergoes physical and spiritual transformations, gradually shedding illusions and confronting the nature of existence, desire, and suffering.
