http://dbpedia.org/resource/The_Flight_to_Lucifer an entity of type: Thing
The Flight to Lucifer: A Gnostic Fantasy is a 1979 fantasy novel by American critic Harold Bloom, inspired by his reading of David Lindsay's fantasy novel A Voyage to Arcturus (1920). The plot, which adapts Lindsay's characters and narrative and features themes drawn from Gnosticism, concerns Thomas Perscors, who is transported from Earth to the planet Lucifer by Seth Valentinus. The book received negative responses, and was compared, including by Bloom himself, to the film Star Wars (1977). Bloom eventually repudiated the work.
