Alastor: Or The New Ptolemy is a novel written by James Orton and published in 1852. The story is set in a distant future where humanity has reached a state of advanced technology and has colonized other planets. The main character, Alastor, is a young man who is dissatisfied with his life and sets out on a journey to find meaning and purpose. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters and experiences, including a utopian society, a sentient planet, and a group of rebels fighting against a tyrannical government. As Alastor travels further, he begins to question his own beliefs and values, and ultimately discovers a new understanding of himself and the universe. The novel explores themes of individualism, spirituality, and the search for identity, and is considered a classic of science fiction literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
