Dalla quarta di copertina: <div>One of the most innovative authors and distinguished literary critics of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf examines family dynamics and the tensions between men and women in her 1927 novel <i>To the Lighthouse</i>. She explores multiple perspectives of the members of the Ramsay family as they navigate experiences of disappointment and loss. Divided into three parts, the story takes place pre&#8211; and post&#8211;World War I during visits to the Ramsays&#8217; summer residence on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.<br><br> Virginia Woolf strove to write a new fiction that emphasized the passage of time as both a series of sequential moments and a longer flow of years and centuries, as well as exploring the essential indefinability of character. <i>To the Lighthouse</i> is among her most successful experiments in her pioneering use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device in addition to such groundbreaking novels as <i>Jacob&#39;s Room</i>, <i>Mrs. Dalloway</i>, <i>Orlando</i>, and <i>The Voyage Out</i>.</div>
