Summary "A Voyage to Arcturus" by David Lindsay is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book follows the journey of Maskull, a man who, after attending a séance, embarks on an extraordinary adventure to the distant star Arcturus and its inhabited planet, Tormance, alongside companions Nightspore and Krag. The story delves into themes of cosmic exploration and existential inquiry, as Maskull grapples with his understanding of reality and the nature of life on this mysterious planet. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces a séance held by the medium Backhouse at Montague Faull’s residence. As guests gather for the spiritual event, tension builds with the arrival of two enigmatic individuals, Maskull and Nightspore. Following an odd and unsettling materialization at the séance, where a ghostly figure appears, Maskull is drawn into a conversation with Krag, who reveals their purpose: to journey to the planet Tormance. The opening sets a surreal tone, blending elements of philosophical discourse and speculative fiction, raising questions about existence as Maskull prepares to leave his earthly life behind.
