To the Lighthouse - Hardcover

by Virginia Woolf (Author)

From English writer Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse explores the relationships and inner thoughts of a family on their visits to the Isle of Sky in Scotland. Considered a benchmark of the modernist tradition, the novel makes experimental use of third-person narration and subjective language. Woolf uses the postponement of a family trip to a nearby lighthouse to flush out the characters and the everyday discomforts and joys of existence. The novel explores the themes of time, memory, and the passage of life, as well as the inner conflicts in relationships and families. To the Lighthouse is often ranked as one of the greatest English-language books ever written.
