hydroponic supply

Can anyone help with a book title or author? It is a sci fi book wrote in the 1950′s called the long journey.

"This book is set on a spaceship and is about the survivors of the remaining crew after they refresh the water supply from a new planet and it causes them to get sick and change if they live through the changes.They make it home to Earth and unknowing to them have been orbitting it for many years while others from the space program etc try to figure out want happened and how they will adapt them back to the standard humaness. I remember a few charcters names like Complain: the main charcter, Wantage a doomed one, Green the leader of the green tribe. There are two different groups of people one that lived through the water sickness and stayed normal and the group the lived through the changes but had a speeded up exsistence one of the normal days was like three or four to them. They lived on this space ship and even the hydroponic plants changed and survived. This was a very good book and I would love to know the correct title and author.
Can’t remember if it was the long(est) journey.

“Non-Stop” by Brian Aldiss

“Curiosity was discouraged in the Greene tribe. Its members lived out their lives in cramped Quarters, hacking away at the encroaching ponics. As to where they were – that was forgotten. Roy Complain decides to find out. With the renegade priest Marapper, he moves into unmapped territory, where they make a series of discoveries which turn their universe upside-down… Non-Stop is the classic SF novel of discovery and exploration; a brilliant evocation of a familiar setting seen through the eyes of a primitive.”

Aldiss evokes yet another strange and wonderful environment., 29 Jun 2003
By C. Foster “sdolemelipone” (St. Helens, UK) – See all my reviews

One thing is for sure in the field of Science Fiction; if you like your plate full of ‘heroes’ who are paragons of moral probity – Brian Wilson Aldiss is the author to give you a triple dose of stomach-churning indigestion.
Quite from where he draws inspiration for such spiteful, perfidious and yet deliciously appealing protagonists as those found in Non-Stop (not to mention his other works) is beyond me. And in all honesty – I don’t really want to know.

Meet Roy Complain, member of the Greene tribe, a nomadic group of semi-primitives trapped aboard a malfunctioning generation star ship ploughing its way through the Universe. Roy’s job is to forage for food throughout dark and foreboding corridors overrun by choking plant life.

Surprisingly enough, the members of the tribe appear completely oblivious to their actual predicament; the truth of their existence, and that of their environment, is shrouded in mystery – lost and corrupted over the centuries.

Only the fiercely redoubtable Father Henry Marapper suspects that there may be more to the ‘world’ than meets the eye, and when Roy’s mate is abducted in the corridor jungles, the priest enlists the resourceful hunter for a dangerous trek into the unknown reaches of the spacecraft in search of answers.

Along for the journey come several other individuals who would appear to represent the absolute worst examples of humanity such as Wantage, hideously disfigured and the hopelessly psychotic, and Roffery, a brazenly corrupt meat salesman. Marapper himself, whilst being hugely entertaining, is a certifiable maniac with a penchant for dispending a brand of ‘religion’ that probably wouldn’t be out of place during the Spanish Inquisition.”
