A Voyage to Arcturus cover

A classic of intergalactic, philosophical science fiction and one of Philip Pullman's favourite books.

'Extraordinary' Philip Pullman

Following one man's journey from earth to an alien landscape of ethereal beauty and existential terror, A Voyage to Arcturus is a profound questioning of the nature of evil. Dreamlike and philosophical, this landmark cult novel has influenced generations of writers.
