TO THE LIGHTHOUSE - Virginia Woolf

To the Lighthouse is the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf #39;s novels. It is based on her own early experiences, and while it touches on childhood and children #39;s perceptions and desires, it is at its most trenchant when exploring adult relationships, marriage and the changing class-structure in the period spanning the Great War.The serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, and their children and assorted guests are on holiday on the Isle of Skye. From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women. As time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and simultaneously, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph:the human capacity for change. softcover 176 halaman berbahasa Inggris
