Sinossi
«Un'opera fragile, rischiosa come tutte le opere che affondano le loro radici nel vivo della carne del loro autore, e tuttavia - una rilettura ce lo dice oggi senza dubbi né equivoci - resistente come il diamante»: questa la defizione che Attilio Bertolucci conia per Gita al faro. «Il romanzo è diviso in tre parti, in tre pannelli che si equilibrano e connettono meravigliosamente, proponendosi di svolgere quel tema unico del genere che è il passaggio del tempo. Il fatto quasi miracoloso e irripetibile del libro è che, quando lo leggiamo, siamo di continuo ma leggerissimamente avvinti dal colore, dal suono, dal vibrare delle ore che passano e dal succedersi disordinato e minuto dei pensieri che attraversano la mente dei personaggi (prima tra tutti la signora Ramsay): e ci sembra che questo ci basti, quasi forse ci sazi».

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
