To the Lighthouse

"To the Lighthouse" – a categorically unusual book. Two days, separated by a ten-year gap. Depicted ideas, moods, and spiritual experiences. Memory, through which a great life gradually and imperceptibly enters this delicate and graceful novel. This is Virginia Woolf's most famous work. On its pages, the large Ramsay family, spending summer on the Isle of Skye, dreams of going to the lighthouse visible from their shore. Daily, Mrs. Ramsay announces that their father will take them there the next day. However, the trip keeps getting postponed. By describing this story, Woolf managed to paint a whimsical, three-dimensional picture of human relationships and tell how and what men and women think while no one is listening.
