To The Lighthouse - (virginia Woolf Library) By Virginia Woolf (paperback)

To the Lighthouse is a masterpiece of modern fiction that explores the subjective reality of everyday life in the Hebrides for the Ramsay family.

This authorized, original edition of one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century offers a moving examination of complex tensions and allegiances within family life, as well as the human capacity for change.

With a foreword from Eudora Welty, this novel is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland.

Despite the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs an extraordinary and moving examination of the small joys and quiet tragedies of everyday life that could go on forever.

But as time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph - the human capacity for change.

This is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced the complexities of family life or the power of literature to transcend the silence that separates people.
