For this book, the literary critic August Nemo has chosen the two most important and meaningful novels of David Lindsay wich are A Voyage to Arcturus and The Haunted Woman. A Voyage to Arcturus has been described as the major "underground" novel of the 20th century. The secret of Lindsay's apparent originality as a novelist lies in his metaphysical assumptions. Like the gnostics he seems to have viewed the "real" world as an illusion, which must be rejected in order to perceive genuine "truth". In The Haunted Woman, the two main characters discover a room which seems to exist only some of the time; while they are there together, they can see more clearly and express themselves honestly. Novels selected for this book: - A Voyage to Arcturus. - The Haunted Woman.This is one of many books in the series Essential Novelists.
