{"product_id":"a-voyage-to-arcturus-4","title":"A Voyage to Arcturus","description":"A stunning achievement in speculative fiction, \u003ci\u003eA Voyage to Arcturus\u003c\/i\u003e has inspired, enchanted, and unsettled readers for decades. It is simultaneously an epic quest across one of the most unusual and brilliantly depicted alien worlds ever conceived, a profoundly moving journey of discovery into the metaphysical heart of the universe, and a shockingly intimate excursion into what makes us human and unique. 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 waits a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Voyage to Arcturus\u003c\/i\u003e was the first novel by writer David Lindsay (1878-1945), and it remains one of the most revered classics of science fiction. This commemorative edition features an introduction by noted scholar and writer of speculative fiction John Clute and a famous essay by Loren Eiseley.","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943904608487,"sku":"9780803280045","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_7e310225-951d-46e5-9126-b067726376d8.jpg?v=1775344835","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/a-voyage-to-arcturus-4","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
