A Voyage to Arcturus

Written in 1920 with all the turgid prose of the era when the author is trying to be formal and profound. It's an exploration of religion and philosophy and moral values set in a metaphorical trip to another planet.

The protagonist meets many different people with whom he debates morality, every day a new person and a new topic. Ironically he leaves several of them dead in his wake. With many he commits himself to their point of view but tomorrow changes his mind with the next interlocutor.

The end of his journey is marked by his acceptance of ultimate disillusionment.

Summary: In this work of science fiction, Maskull, the main character, travels to the planet Tormance. When he gets there, he meets a being named Joiwind who tells him about Surtur, who, according to Joiwind, created all things. Maskull goes in search of Surtur, and, as he does, he passes through lands that contain different creatures who have varying moral codes. This book explored different philosophical systems of belief and being.

One of the strangest and most incredible book I have ever read in my life. It is an incredible exciting experience where you are conduced in a voyage on another planet discovering yourself , doubting your believes and your views about the world, experiencing other views and philosophies. a long voyage trying to understand yourself and the world.

I honestly don't even know what I just read, but I find myself pleased with the result nonetheless.
