Summary

'"I want to write a novel about Silence," he said; "the things people don't say."'

Virginia Woolf's inspired debut novel, The Voyage Out, charts a moving journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of an expedition to South America.

First published in 1915, this remarkable work introduces readers to Woolf's unique narrative voice, foreshadowing the stylistic brilliance that would later define her masterpieces. At its heart is Rachel Vinrace, a young woman embarking on a sea voyage that becomes a profound exploration of identity, love, and the fragile boundaries between freedom and convention. Through innovative prose and keen psychological insight, Woolf captures both the beauty and unease of the human experience. By turns satirical, poignant and quietly devastating, The Voyage Out is an extraordinary meditation on youth, society and purpose.
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
