Summary

One family. One house. One moment that echoes across time.

To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's most profound novel, weaving together the lives of the Ramsay family and their guests over two days—separated by a span of ten years and a world war. With stream-of-consciousness narration, poetic prose, and philosophical insight, Woolf explores memory, impermanence, gender roles, and artistic struggle.

A cornerstone of modernist literature, this novel is celebrated for its experimental form and psychological depth, influencing generations of writers and readers.

💬 "A novel as delicate and luminous as light reflected off water."

    The House of a Thousand Candles (1905) by Meredith Nicholson is a fast-paced novel, well composed to sustain attention. The main actor is a bad tempered young man, who inherits a fortune from his grandfather—suspended for a year of probation. The fellow finds out upon returning to a city of the fictional Indiana County that the old man died, and in his will he stated that the heir must live in his (haunted) house for a year—without leaving it. The unfinished estate resides in the woods, 2 miles away from the city, and according to the public, treasures are hidden in it. No wonder that upon his arrival the house was already made topsy-turvy, and the guy was attempted to be killed! Great novel with brilliant twists, romance, and mystery.

    The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.[1] Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor without Wilde's knowledge deleted roughly five hundred words before publication. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.
