Beskrivning
'One of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time' Margaret DrabbleTo the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family, the Ramseys, whose annual summer holiday in Scotland falls under the shadow of war, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. The novel's use of stream of consciousness, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives it an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of all that had gone before.Edited by Stella McNichol with an Introduction and Notes by Hermione Lee

Mer om författaren

Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, was the major novelist at the heart of the inter-war Bloomsbury Group. Her early novels include The Voyage Out, Night and Day and Jacob's Room. Between 1925 and 1931 she produced her finest masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando and the experimental The Waves. Her later novels include The Years and Between the Acts, and she also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, journalism and biography, including the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own. Suffering from depression, she drowned herself in the River Ouse in 1941.

  1. 3/5 Christina R

    En läsvärd klassiker skrivet i inre monolog. Mer för den som uppskattar litteratur och konst än som är ute efter en spännande/intressant handling.

  2. 4/5 -

    Vackert språk och intressant klassiker

  3. 2/5 Tombe

    Boken utspelar sig i 3 delar, den första delen är bara några timmar, den andra lika så fast några år senare och den sista drygt 10 år efter den första. Lite för tung för min smak.
