This is an automatically translated description

"To the Lighthouse" is one of the most famous novels by the British writer, a prominent representative of modernist prose, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941). This work is to some extent autobiographical. The author based the main characters, Mr and Mrs Ramsey, on her parents. They represent two opposite worlds in the novel: the male world, cold, logical, impatient, and the female world, which is warm, understanding, cosy, and compassionate. Nevertheless, the role of the characters in the novel is quite relative, because Virginia Woolf's style is unusual: she depicts not so much the characters and their actions as thoughts, ideas, moods, thus forming a new psychological style of writing and setting guidelines for all modern literature.
