TO THE LIGHT HOUSE

For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself.

And that was what now she often felt the need of-to think; well not even

to think, to be silent; to be alone...

First published in 1972, To the Lighthouse is an exceptional experiment in

the literary technique of stream of consciousness. It is considered as one

of the best English-language novels of the twentieth century. This novel by

Virginia Woolf is an epitome of human desire, a force that pulsates over

the indifferent sea of the natural world leading peoples passage across it.

To the Lighthouse, like Woolf s other works, has earned its rightful place in

feminist literature of all times.
