About this listen

Best known for its influence on literary greats such as C. S. Lewis and later J. R. R. Tolkein, A Voyage to Arcturus explores the nature of good and evil by combining fantasy, philosophy, and science fiction.

Maskull, a simple man, decides to embark on a journey through the galaxy accompanied by his friend Krag and his acquaintance, Nightspore. Flying through space in a crystal ship, they explore vast lands and meet an interesting cast of characters. As death follows the trio, Maskull is faced with the ever-present conundrum: What really is the meaning of life? Described by critics as the greatest novel of the twentieth century, Arcturus has captivated audiences for more than a century.

what did I just listen to?! more than just a dreamscape this man has taken far too many drugs. I say this not in alarm but in reverence, he has clearly gone somewhere and brought back quite the gift for the rest of us to struggle at the understanding and attempt to perceive, though I suspect most never will without extra sensory organs. this is perhaps one of my new favorite books of all time.

wow!
