A voyage to Arcturus / David Lindsay. - Mineola : Dover Publications, 2005. - VII, [3], 258 stron ; 22 cm.
The novel has very little science fiction. An interstellar voyage is depicted solely to provide perfunctory framework to the narration. The book was written at a time when it was no longer possible to conceive strange lands in the antipodes as in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, or in Thomas More's Utopia. Thus these have to be set at Tormance, an imaginary planet orbiting Arcturus, which is represented as a binary consisting of stars Branchspell & Alppain. (The choice may have been inspired by the nonfictional A Voyage to the Arctic in the Whaler Aurora published in '11 by identically-named David Moore Lindsay.) The lands are used to represent philosophical systems, or states of mind, thru which the main character, Maskull, passes on his search for life's meaning. [www.goodreads.com]
