The Waves

Virginia Woolf

Sinossi

🌊 What if the rhythm of life itself could be captured in words?

Virginia Woolf's The Waves (1931) is her most experimental and poetic novel—a profound meditation on identity, memory, and the passage of time. Told through the soliloquies of six friends from childhood to old age, the book abandons traditional plot in favor of a lyrical tapestry of voices, weaving together the inner lives of its characters into one symphony of thought and emotion.

Through shifting perspectives, Woolf explores the nature of individuality, the bonds of friendship, and the eternal flow of existence. Each character becomes both distinct and interconnected, mirroring the ceaseless rise and fall of waves along the shore.

David Copperfield

Charles Dickens

David Copperfield is the story of a young man's adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant, but ultimately unworthy school-friend James Steerforth; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble, yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently impecunious Wilkins Micawber, one of literature's great comic creations. In David Copperfield - the novel he described as his 'favourite child' - Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of the most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure.
