About the Book

«Una de las inteligencias e imaginaciones más delicadas que ahora ensayan felices experimentos con la novela inglesa»

Jorge Luis Borges

Al faro es una de las obras cumbre de la literatura del siglo xx. Basada en la propia infancia de la autora, la novela cuenta la historia de la familia Ramsay en la isla escocesa de Skye en el periodo de entre guerras.

El rumor del mar, la presencia insomne del faro, la guerra, la muerte, el erotismo o el transcurso del tiempo se entreveran en la larga conversación de la novela formando un oleaje de símbolos, palabras e imágenes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

To the Lighthouse is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf. A landmark of high modernism, the novel centers on the Ramsays and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920.

Following and extending the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the plot of To the Lighthouse is secondary to its philosophical introspection.

The novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. The novel recalls childhood emotions and highlights adult relationships.

Among the book's many tropes and themes are those of loss, subjectivity, and the problem of perception. In 1998, the Modern Library named To the Lighthouse No. 15 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the one hundred best English-language novels from 1923 to present.
About the Author: Virginia Stephen nació en Londres el 25 de enero de 1882 y decidió poner fin a su vida el 28 de marzo de 1941. Al morir su padre, el conocido hombre de letras Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia y su hermana Vanessa abandonaron el elegante barrio de Kensington y se trasladaron al bohemio Bloomsbury, que dio nombre al brillante grupo literario formado alrededor de las hermanas Stephen. En 1912 Virginia se casó con Leonard Woolf y juntos dirigieron la editorial Hogarth Press.

Considerada una de las autoras imprescindibles del siglo XX, entre las obras más importantes de Woolf cabe destacar La señora Dalloway (1925), Al faro (1927), Orlando (1928), Las olas (1931), Los años (1937), Tres guineas (1938) y Entre actos (1941). Especial mención merece un breve ensayo titulado Un cuarto propio, que se ha convertido en un texto de referencia para las lectoras de todos los tiempos.
