Sinossi
"Girandosi, guardò al di là della baia, e laggiù, certo, scivolando a intervalli regolari sulle onde, prima due lampi veloci, poi uno lungo e durevole, c'era la luce del Faro. L'avevano acceso". 1914. La signora Ramsay, serena e materna. Il signor Ramsay, brusco e severo. Insieme a loro, in vacanza sull'isola di Skye, ci sono gli otto figli e una nutrita schiera di amici. Una sera programmano una gita al Faro. Per James, il figlio più piccolo, quel faro lontano rappresenta una meta magica e sconosciuta, un luogo a lungo sognato. Ma trascorreranno dieci lunghi anni prima che i superstiti della famiglia Ramsay realizzino quel desiderio in una giornata che farà riaffiorare ricordi mai dimenticati e si trasformerà in un ultimo tentativo di riconciliazione. A partire da un episodio all'apparenza insignificante, Virginia Woolf costruisce un romanzo profondo e straordinario, un viaggio nel cuore di una famiglia, tra conflitti sotterranei, alleanze e tensioni che sopravvivono nel tempo. Un esperimento letterario, un'elegia ai fantasmi dell'infanzia, un caleidoscopio di punti di vista e pensieri che la nuova traduzione di Anna Nadotti restituisce in tutta la sua struggente poesia. Introduzione di Hisham Matar.

The lighthouse is out there, it's eye caressing our struggles with cold indifference. We can beat against the tides in pursuit, but will we ever reach it? Does it even matter, and is it even attainable? If we only look to that spot on the horizon we miss the love around us, miss those gasping for ou Leggi tutto
I think this book is Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, not The Waves as some critics say. What is it about? It’s about life. The first half is about two days of life; the second half, set ten years later, is largely about death. In the Intro by Eudora Welty she says that in the novel “reality looms” but Leggi tutto
It's a problem, dear Virginia They like stuff that's much more linear, I know your teeth you will grit But you have to admit You may be hot but there's not a lot of plot that you got Five pages about rain on a distant steeple Is five too many for most of the British people They moan about Mrs Dalloway In su Leggi tutto
I’m sorry...I just don’t get it? This book has numerous five star reviews, and while I understand it isn’t plot driven, the characters are so vague? They all kind of blur together so I never really knew who was speaking/thinking and when. So many thoughts flying around and I just didn’t see the point Leggi tutto
There are two bright autumnal days… And thousands of dark nights in between… Two days in life… The insincerity slipping in among the truths roused her, annoyed her. She returned to her knitting again. How could any Lord have made this world? she asked. With her mind she had always seized the fact tha Leggi tutto
1 to 1.5 stars I had to go look at some other reviews before I wrote this. I can honestly say that I am shocked to see so many 4 and 5 star reviews. That does not mean I think those reviews are incorrect, I am just surprised at how many people connected with this book in a very positive way. I will h Leggi tutto
"What is the meaning of life? That was all - a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was
