A Voyage to Arcturus is a science fiction novel by Scottish author David Lindsay, first published in 1920. The novel is set in a fictional planet called Tormance, which orbits the star Arcturus. The story follows the protagonist, a man named Maskull, who receives a mysterious invitation to travel to Tormance. Maskull embarks on the journey with his friend Krag, and they encounter a variety of strange and otherworldly creatures along the way.As they travel deeper into Tormance, Maskull begins to experience a series of bizarre transformations and encounters with the planet's inhabitants. He is forced to confront his own beliefs and values as he navigates the strange and often dangerous landscape of Tormance.A Voyage to Arcturus is known for its philosophical themes, exploring topics such as the nature of reality, the meaning of life, and the existence of God. The novel has been praised for its imaginative world-building and its unique blend of science fiction and philosophy. It has been cited as an influence on several other science fiction writers, including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.On a march evening, at eight o'clock, Backhouse, the medium - a fast - rising star in the psychic world - was ushered into the study at Prolands, the Hampstead residence of Montague Faull.
