“What is the meaning of life? That was all a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.” –from To the Lighthouse To the Lighthouse, probably one of Virginia Woolf’s most experimental novels, published in 1927 and often described as an elegy to her mother, is a novel of high modernism with a dense language and radical departure from the 19th century novel, depicting themes and concerns like gender, marriage, mortality, mourning, reality and time. To the Lighthouse, widely considered Virginia Woolf’s most successful use of stream of consciousness narrative and non-linear plot, reflects her most perfect realization of subjectivity, death and the passage of time and is without doubt a masterpiece, with which even Virginia Woolf herself agrees: “My present opinion is that it is easily the best of my books.”
Mrs. Dalloway. E-book. Formato EPUB Virginia Woolf - Sis Publishing, 2014 -
“She had teh perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous tol ive even one day.” –From Mrs. Dalloway This is the story of one day in June 1923, depicting the different lives of some London citizens trying to maintain their daily lives especially after the not only physically but also mentally devastating and eradicating World War I. Virginia Woolf brings a very new aspect, the stream of consciousness on the stage and thereby makes us acquainted with the feelings and inner thoughts of each character. Clarissa Dalloway’s life, a qoman from the upper-class in post-World War I is detailed by travels of the story forwards and backwards in time and in and out of characters’ minds. There is a calm atmosphere, in which peaple keep on living as if everything is as it was before the war. However, some words or little gestures reveal to us that everything is not as peaceful and ordinary as it seems.
