To the Lighthouse - A Masterpiece of Modernist Fiction Memory and the Meaning of Time

Virginia Woolf, Zenith Ivory Tower Publications

Editora: Zenith Ivory Tower Publications

Sinopse

Time passes. People change. The lighthouse remains.
To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's lyrical and deeply moving portrait of a family, a house, and the haunting passage of time.

Set in a summer home on the coast of Scotland, the novel unfolds over two decades in the lives of the Ramsay family and their guests. With no traditional plot, Woolf instead paints the inner lives of her characters with poetic precision—capturing fleeting thoughts, fractured memories, and the silent tensions of love, loss, and longing.

This landmark of literary modernism revolutionized the novel form with its stream-of-consciousness technique and thematic focus on the ephemeral nature of life. To the Lighthouse is as much about what is unsaid as what is spoken, as much about moments lost as those remembered.

"A brilliant and beautiful book, full of wisdom, compassion, and deeply felt human experience." — The New York Times
"Woolf's greatest achievement. A novel that speaks across time." — The Guardian
"Reading it feels like standing in sunlight and shadow all at once." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for lovers of introspective fiction, lyrical prose, and psychological depth, To the Lighthouse is one of the 20th century's most profound literary works.

White Fang

Jack London

White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London  — and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine, it was published in 1906. 
The story details White Fang's journey to domestication in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild, which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild.
Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.
The story begins before the wolf-dog hybrid is born, with two men and their sled dog team on a journey to deliver the coffin of Lord Alfred to a remote town named Fort McGurry in the higher area of the Yukon Territory. The men, Bill and Henry, are stalked by a large pack of starving wolves over the course of several days. Finally, after all of their dogs and Bill have been eaten, four more teams find Henry trying to escape from the wolves; the wolf pack scatters when they hear the large group of people coming...

He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses.

THE CRUISE OF THE CORACLE: It was broad day when I awoke, and found myself tossing at the southwest end of Treasure Island. The sun was up, but was still hid from me behind the great bulk of the Spy-glass, which on this side descended almost to the sea in formidable cliffs.
