Beschreibung

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. As he journeys northward, guided by a drumbeat, he encounters 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 lies a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation.

Described by C. S. Lewis as “that shattering, intolerable and irresistible work,” the surreal and philosophical  A Voyage to Arcturus is a science fiction fantasy classic.
