Sinossi
On the glistening surface of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking novel is the Ramsay family, a seemingly stable group of characters, but a group that is ultimately subject to the same alterations and losses that come with the passing of time. Set at the Ramsays’ summerhouse over two September days, ten years apart, Woolf’s influential landmark of twentieth-century literature explores the hopes, frustrations, and small moments of grace and change that permeate everyday life. First published in 1927, To the Lighthouse provides a quintessentially modernist, kaleidoscopic focus on the characters’ interior lives, but it also offers an enduringly wise and sensitive portrayal of human fragility. In Woolf’s novel, the absurdity, mundanity, and tenuousness of human life is uniquely evident―and uniquely beautiful as a result.
Revised edition: Previously published as To the Lighthouse, this edition of To the Lighthouse includes editorial revisions.

Informazioni sull?autore
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is one of the twentieth century’s preeminent English authors. She is best known for her modernist classics Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando, as well as her pioneering essay A Room of One’s Own, which remains one of the most influential and referenced feminist texts of all time.
Born Adeline Virginia Stephen into a highly accomplished, progressive blended family, Woolf grew up in Kensington with seven siblings and half siblings. She married essayist Leonard Woolf in 1912. Two early traumas―the sudden death of her mother in 1895 and the loss of a half sister―were among many events that contributed to a lifelong struggle with mental illness that would ultimately lead to her suicide at the age of fifty-nine. A pioneer of groundbreaking modernist fiction and nonfiction who broke from literary convention and addressed radical themes, Woolf presents a remarkable legacy to contemporary writers and readers.
