Maskull is a man of adventure, and so he eagerly responds to an invitation to journey into space, to another planet.
The voyage unfolds with numerous twists, existential anxieties, and an unexpected ending.
The writer David Lindsay masterfully depicts A Voyage to Arcturus, offering a richly imaginative myth in which exploration concerns not only an unknown world, but also the characters’ relationship with good and evil—and even with themselves.
Many were inspired by this journey in their own work, including C. S. Lewis, who wrote The Space Trilogy, J. R. R. Tolkien, who said he read it in one sitting, and Clive Barker, who called it a “masterpiece.”
