Produktbeschreibung
"A Voyage to Arcturus" by David Lindsay is a philosophical science fiction novel that delves into the metaphysical and existential questions of life. The story begins with Maskull and Nightspore attending a séance at the home of Montague Faull, where they encounter the enigmatic Krag. Krag invites them on a journey to the planet Tormance, orbiting the star Arcturus. Despite initial skepticism, Maskull is intrigued by the possibility of exploring a new world and agrees to the adventure. The narrative unfolds as they travel to Starkness Observatory, where they are to embark on their interstellar voyage. The observatory is deserted, and the atmosphere is eerie, with signs of previous occupants who left in haste. Maskull and Nightspore explore the premises, discovering mysterious bottles labeled with "Solar Back Rays" and "Arcturian Back Rays," hinting at the scientific wonders that await them. As they prepare for the journey, Maskull experiences a series of strange phenomena, including a voice warning him about Nightspore. The novel explores themes of identity, reality, and the nature of the universe, challenging readers to question their perceptions and beliefs. Lindsay's work is a profound exploration of the human condition, set against the backdrop of a fantastical and otherworldly landscape.
