Synopsis

Reprint of 1927 Edition. Following and extending the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the plot of To the Lighthouse is secondary to its philosophical introspection. Cited as a key example of the literary technique of multiple focalization, the novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. The novel recalls childhood emotions and highlights adult relationships. Among the book's many tropes and themes are those of loss, subjectivity, the nature of art and the problem of perception. In 1998, the Modern Library named To the Lighthouse No. 15 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the one hundred best English-language novels since 1923.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Every detail of the design and production was considered to make these books beautiful objects, but they are not merely decorative objects... They offer a beautiful way to discover - or indeed rediscover - literary masterpieces. --The Bookseller

Roads bucks the trend of cliched and dated book covers and seeks to reach the contemporary reader on a deeper level. --Totally Dublin

Dare the term 'gifting' be whispered - one (or the set) of these could be just the ticket for the stylish book lover. --The Gloss

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
