The Waves

Virginia Woolf

Casa editrice: Zenith Whispering Pines Publishers

Sinossi

Experience the Rhythmic Pulse of the Human Soul.

Widely considered Virginia Woolf's most sophisticated and experimental achievement, The Waves transcends the traditional novel to become a "play-poem" of extraordinary beauty. The story follows the lives of six friends—Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis—from childhood through old age, told through a series of internal soliloquies that blend their individual identities into a single, collective human experience.

Framed by luminous interludes describing the sun's journey across the sky and the waves breaking on the shore, the novel captures the fleeting nature of time and the profound depth of our inner lives. Woolf's masterful poetic prose explores the search for meaning, the pain of loss, and the eternal struggle to define the "self" against the backdrop of an indifferent universe.

A landmark of Modernist literature, The Waves is an immersive sensory experience that challenges the boundaries of fiction. It remains a hauntingly beautiful meditation on friendship, mortality, and the rhythmic flow of existence.

Dive into the depths of consciousness. Buy "The Waves" today and experience Virginia Woolf at the height of her creative powers.
