TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

Considered one of Virginia Woolf's major works, To the Lighthouse depicts the daily life of the Ramsay family and their friends in a summer home in the Hebrides, set against the backdrop of World War I. The novel alternates between various perspectives, exploring family relationships, childhood memories, and their consequences in adulthood. Divided into three parts, the story begins with Mrs. Ramsay, whose desire to go "to the lighthouse" drives the narrative. In the second part, the lighthouse remains empty, marking the passage of time and the death of several characters. In the final part, the family finally reaches their destination, and the novel transforms into a meditation on love, loss, and creativity.
