Informationen zum Autor Virginia Woolf, illustrated by Alison Bechdel Klappentext First published with a foreword by Patricia Lockwood by Penguin Books (USA), 2023. Zusammenfassung A must-have new edition of Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, featuring a cover illustrated by Alison Bechdel, the New York Times bestselling author of Fun Home , and a new foreword by Patricia Lockwood A Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper Every summer, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey and their eight children vacation on Scotland’s idyllic Isle of Skye, surrounded by artist friends. They expect these summers will go on forever, but with the arrival of World War I, they are forced to reckon with change, loss, and time’s unstoppable march, before making, years later, the long-awaited return to Skye and to its towering lighthouse. An intimate, impressionistic meditation on memory, grief, the brutalities of war, and the tensions of domestic life, revolutionary for its use of stream of consciousness and shifting points of view, and infused with a singular poetic essence, To the Lighthouse is both a landmark in modernist writing and one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. This edition is collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author’s intentions, and includes a catalog of emendations and an introduction by the distinguished biographer and critic Hermione Lee.
