Gebunden, 326 Seiten, 235mm x 157mm x 24mm, Sprache(n): eng A stunning achievement in speculative fiction, A Voyage to Arcturus has inspired, enchanted, and unsettled readers for decades. It is 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 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.David Lindsay was born in Adelaide on 12 June 1943. He married Margie on 23 Jan 1970; he has three children, Sarah, Jodie and James; and six grandchildren, Oliver, Emily, Tom, Maggie, Eddie and Bonnie. He was educated at Grange Primary School, Saint Peter's College Adelaide, University of Sydney (Bachelor of Veterinary Science - 1970), RMIT University (Melbourne Post-Graduate Diploma in Animal Chiropractic - 2000). Professionally, he is a veterinary surgeon with particular interest in physical therapies (chiropractic) of dogs and cats. He was the National President of Australian Veterinary Association (1985-86). David is not a mathematician, neither is he a cosmologist, a physicist, or an astro-physicist, which is strange considering the meanderings of this book. David admits to being obsessive when it comes to identifying and attempting to correct mistakes. Which is not necessarily a bad characteristic in a physician or diagnostician, even a veterinary physician. It has taken twenty-five years to work out a possible answer to what he sees as a mistake made by one of the world's most famous astronomers. It has been a philosophical quest in which it has been just as difficult to find the correct questions as teasing out the answers. Versandkostenfreie Lieferung<
