A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay

 

A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay

C. S. Lewis liked this book a lot. He was a good enough writer to appreciate the art in such a book that is overlooked by people that only like an easy style. Here something so important is being said that the artist doesn't stop to polish the details — like Michangelo's "Men Tearing Themselves out of Rocks" — the roughness of the texture adds to the final quality of the reality presented.  However, many people find this novel strange.  It is NOT a spaceship type of novel.  The voyage to Arcturus is a paranormal voyage.
