To the Lighthouse (5 May 1927) is a novel by Virginia Woolf. A landmark novel of high modernism, the text, centering on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920, skillfully manipulates temporality and psychological exploration.To the Lighthouse follows and extends the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, where the plot is secondary to philosophical introspection, and the prose can be winding and hard to follow. The novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. The novel recalls the power of childhood emotions and highlights the impermanence of adult relationships. One of the book''s several themes is the ubiquity of transience.

A Room of One''s Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf, first published in September 1929. The work is based on two lectures Woolf delivered in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women''s constituent colleges at the University of Cambridge.

A stunning new edition of Virginia Woolf''s engulfing portrait of one day in a woman''s life, featuring a new foreword by Jenny Offill, the New York Times bestselling author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself." It''s one of the most famous opening lines in literature, that of Virginia Woolf''s beloved masterpiece of time, memory, and the city. In the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, Clarissa Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and remembering those she once loved. In another part of London, Septimus Smith is suffering from shell-shock and on the brink of madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the party reaches its glittering climax. In a novel in which she perfects the interior monologue and recapitulates the life cycle in the hours of the day, from first light to the dark of night, Woolf achieves an uncanny simulacrum of consciousness, bringing past, present, and future together, and recording, impression by impression, minute by minute, the feel of life itself. This edition is collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author''s intentions, and includes a catalog of emendations, an illuminating introduction and endnotes by the distinguished feminist critic Elaine Showalter, and a map of Mrs. Dalloway''s London.

A pioneering work of modernist fiction, using her unique stream-of-consciousness technique to explore the inner lives of her characters, Virginia Woolf''s To the Lighthouse is widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Stella McNichol, with an introduction and notes by Hermione Lee. To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of ''The Bloomsbury Group'', an informal collective of artists and writers that exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography, including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of One''s Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay. If you enjoyed To the Lighthouse, you might like James Joyce''s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, also available in Penguin Classics.

In ihrem konzeptionell wohl bedeutendsten Roman Mrs Dalloway, der zugleich ein Klassiker der Moderne ist, zeichnet Virginia Woolf einen einzigen Tag im Leben einer Frau nach: Clarissa Dalloway, die die letzten Details einer Abendgesellschaft der upper class organisiert. Bevor Virginia Woolf dieses Meisterwerk schrieb, tastete sie sich mittels einer Reihe von Kurzgeschichten an die Party heran. Sie erzählen von einer nervösen jungen Frau, die sich darüber ärgert, dass die anderen Gäste über ihr gelbes Seidenkleid lachen, und von zwei Menschen, die sich in Clarissa Dalloways Salon zum ersten Mal begegnen. Die Erzählungen spielen vor, teils während und schließlich gegen Ende der Party, die bei Virginia Woolf zum Mikrokosmos der Gesellschaft wird.

Movida por la inquietud de explorar el análisis de la conciencia en busca de una realidad más auténtica y esencial, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) encontró en la amalgama de sentimientos, pensamientos y emociones que es la subjetividad el material idóneo para alumbrar una de las obras que sin duda más han contribuido a forjar la sensibilidad contemporánea. Basada en los recuerdos infantiles de los veranos que la autora pasó en la costa de Cornualles y centrada en la figura de una mujer, la señora Ramsay, "Al faro" (1927) gira en torno al tema de la inexorabilidad del paso del tiempo y a la contraposición entre el orden y el caos.

A Room of One''s Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women''s colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.
