To the Lighthouse af Virginia Woolf
Bag om To the Lighthouse

''The Lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a yellow eye that opened suddenly and softly in the evening''To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values. The Penguin English Library - collectable general readers'' editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.

Brugerbedømmelser af To the Lighthouse

  • Maria K. 8. april 2022

    Virginia Woolf formår med ord at male et billede af en familie, et hus og et England i opløsning - du sidder med til bords med familien og deres logerende, spankulerer med rundt i haven og langs klitterne - for derefter at få et udefra perspektiv, der for mit vedkommende er den måske smukkeste portion af historien. Her er mange nuancer, i forhold til samfund, kultur og kønsroller, men også den skarpe kontrast mellem krig, fred, liv og død; samt hvordan de ikke nødvendigvis er hinandens yderpunkter. 5/5 stjerner
