"Mrs Dalloway contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English . . . It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

The Definitive Edition of THE WAVES

-Formatted for kindle

“A beautiful novel with language and imagery unmatched in 20th-century English literature". Becky Nordensten

“The imagery, the cornucopia of metaphors, the insecurities and the accomplishments of the characters, and the lingering presence of a dear departed friend results in a book that necessitates a re-read. And another read. A single read is not enough to appreciate The Waves the Woolf has woven, at what has to be her best.” Anothercookiecrumbles

“The Waves is Virginia Woolf's "play-poem", as she called it; a colloquy of six voices. It is about both continuity and difference, about both the instability and constancy of the self and of friendship: "We come up differently, for ever and ever." It is a record of six characters' "attempts to say 'I am this, I am that'"; but it is also a testament to their shared identity.” Amy Sackville, The Independent

“This prose, this imagery, is not in other words a medium, but an end in itself. The texture of the prose is a warp of sensory impressions woven into woof of poetical abstraction. As prose it has very often a high distinction--it is clear, bright, burnished, at once marvelously accurate and subtly connotative. The pure, delicate sensibility found in this language and the moods that it expresses are a true kind of poetry. And since literature comes before the novel, and "The Waves" reaches the level of literature, whether it is a good or bad novel, or any novel at all, is not really important. Bernard's summing up at the end, for instance, of what their lives have meant--a cohesive, exquisite and sometimes moving stretch of writing--must be allowed, if no precedent exists for it, to set its own.” The New York Times

THE WAVES is Virginia Woolf’s beautifully written masterpiece of 20th Century literature now available in this specially presented edition.

“To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time.” –Margaret Drabble

“One of the hundred best novels published since 1923” Time Magazine

“Once you've settled into it, you'll discover a wonderful book, a tale of everyday life lived. Both intensely personal and incredibly universal, this book is life itself” William Krischke

TO THE LIGHTHOUSE is Virginia’s Woolf’s masterpiece which she described as “easily the best of my books”


Synopsis


‘TO THE LIGHTHOUSE is a book in three parts, in three movements. All of it is laid at the Summer home of an English family named Ramsay in the Hebrides, the first portion occupying an afternoon and evening, the second portion constituting an interlude of ten years during which the house remains unoccupied, the third portion occupying a morning at the end of these ten years. The Ramsays are a middle-aged couple, when the book opens, with eight children, who have with them at their Summer place about half a dozen friends. Husband and wife, though very different, are in love with each other. Mrs. Ramsay, who though fifty is beautiful, has charm, intelligence, understanding; also she is a little anxious to have a hand in things, a little anxious to be liked, a little anxious to keep her illusions and have others keep theirs. Her children love her; they do not love their father--she works harder to hold their love. The best minds about her seemingly mistrust her a little, dislike her a little, for her charm is persuasive rather than compelling. She watches those about her without mingling too much; both because she chooses a vantage point--symbolized by the window--and because of her personality she becomes the dominant and focal figure of the group.’ New York Times
