David Lindsay 
A Voyage to Arcturus 

The first modest publication of A Voyage to Arcturus sold fewer than six hundred copies. Since then, the book has been reissued by more than a dozen trade houses and translated into at least six languages. It has significantly influenced such writers as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and is thought by many to be the major underground novel of the twentieth century.

Hardly read during his lifetime – only about 600 copies of his first novel A Voyage To Arcturus were sold when it was first published – his novels are now among the standard works of classic science fiction and fantasy literature.
