| Among the greatest literary achievements of this century is To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf''s fifth novel. It was greeted with a chorus of praise, was the first to win her a large public, and has remained the most popular of all her novels. It is set on a Hebridean island, overlooked by a distant lighthouse, where an English family and assorted guests are enjoying the long summer. Mrs Ramsay is beautiful, dominant, generous. Her power is gentle but irresistible. All of them - her eccentric and demanding husband, her flock of children, the lovers, the crusty old writer, the independent woman painter, the awkward young academic - are drawn into her sphere of influence. She flatters vanities, builds friendships, protects her own. Her husband''s passion is for abstract truth: hers is for reality, in particular the reality of love, married life and family. But the summer ends. War and death bring changes. The next journey to the lighthouse is a very different one. To read any ordinary novel after reading To The Lighthouse is to feel oneself turning away from the light of day into the world of puppets and pasteboard. Bernard Blackstone.  Ir al inicio |
