The set includes 3 books by Virginia Woolf: "Mrs. Dalloway", "To the Lighthouse" and "Orlando". Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a British writer, a bright representative of the modernist movement in literature, who was part of the famous Bloomsbury Group, and the author of novels that have become classics of the "stream of consciousness". In her works, the history of English modernism is revealed along with its love for words, their sounds, semantic shades, and associations. She experimented with stream of consciousness and highlighted not only the psychological but also the emotional component in the behavior of the main characters. Woolf's novels strive to the very heart of life, to warmth and tenderness, air and light, and convey this acute sense of life to the reader. "Mrs. Dalloway". Clarissa Dalloway, a socialite in her early fifties, is preparing for a party she is hosting at her home. In the morning, she steps out of her house to buy flowers, which she loves very much; she must decorate her home with them for the evening. As she strolls through 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 on his way to a psychiatrist’s appointment with his wife, Lucrezia. Smith's day intertwines with Clarissa's and her friends' lives, culminating when the party reaches its peak. Upon learning of the tragedy involving Smith, Clarissa re-evaluates her life and attitude towards death. “To the Lighthouse” is an extraordinarily unique book. Two days, separated by a ten-year gap. Depicted ideas, moods, and spiritual experiences. Memory, which subtly and gradually brings great life into this delicate and exquisite novel. This is Virginia Woolf's most famous work. On its pages, the large Ramsay family, spending the summer on the Isle of Skye, dreams of going to the lighthouse that is visible from their shore. Daily, Mrs. Ramsay assures them that their father will take them there the next day. However, the trip keeps getting postponed. By describing this story, Woolf manages to paint a whimsical, dimensional picture of human relationships.
