To the Lighthouse

Book •
To the Lighthouse, published in 1927, is a groundbreaking work of modernist literature by Virginia Woolf.

The novel is divided into three sections: 'The Window,' 'Time Passes,' and 'The Lighthouse.

' It follows the Ramsay family during their summer visits to the Isle of Skye, delving into the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters through stream-of-consciousness techniques.

The novel reflects the impact of World War I on the family and society, and it explores themes such as loss, subjectivity, the nature of art, and the problem of perception.

Woolf's intricate prose and rich exploration of consciousness make this novel a masterpiece of world literature.
