Clarissa Dalloway, a socialite in her early fifties, is preparing for a party she is organizing at her home. In the morning she leaves the house to buy flowers, which she loves very much; she must definitely decorate her home...
with them by evening. While walking around London, she recalls her youth and first love. In another part of London, Septimus Warren Smith, a World War I veteran suffering from shell shock, is going with his wife Lucretia to a psychiatrist. Smith's day intertwines with Clarissa's and her friends', their lives converge when the party reaches its peak. Upon learning of the tragedy involving Smith, Clarissa reevaluates her life and her attitude towards death. This is a masterful novel by Virginia Woolf, where the past, present, and future merge into one significant day in June 1923.
“To the Lighthouse” is a categorically unusual book. Two days, separated by a ten-year gap. Depicted ideas, moods, and spiritual experiences. Memory, through which the large life gradually and imperceptibly enters this delicate and elegant novel. This is the most famous work of Virginia Woolf. On its pages, the large Ramsey family, spending the summer on the Isle of Skye, dreams of going to the lighthouse, which is visible from their shore. Every day Mrs. Ramsey announces that her husband will take them there the next day. However, the trip keeps being postponed. By depicting this story, Woolf managed to paint a whimsical three-dimensional picture of human relationships and reveal what and how women and men think while no one is listening.
