British actor Matt Addis whisks listeners off to a star system 37 light years away. There, a gentleman explorer who is guided by a number of mystical women travels through several deserted surreal landscapes to better understand himself and his relationship to the world around him. This novel, first published in 1920, is a deep and demanding dive. A serious allegory, it caught the attention of writers J.R.R. Tolkien and Philip Pullman, with C.S. Lewis calling the work "shattering, intolerable, and irresistible." This is a fine audiobook for listeners who are yearning to hear a mind-bending adventure told in a timeless style.
