Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Ivan Aivazovsky, Odilon Redon and John Martin. A man attends a séance in a Hampstead drawing room and by the next chapter is on a planet under a double sun, where every landscape strips away another consolation. Lindsay sold fewer than six hundred copies in his lifetime and died believing he had failed; C. S. Lewis took the machinery for his own space trilogy, and Harold Bloom wrote his only novel in answer to it. Sixty plates of storm and sea by Ivan Aivazovsky and Henry Pether carry the novel's shifting landscapes from Hampstead to the double sun.
