To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf

Sinopse

In 'To the Lighthouse,' Virginia Woolf explores the complexities of human relationships and the passage of time through innovative narrative techniques and rich, impressionistic prose. Set against the backdrop of the Ramsay family's summer home on the Isle of Skye, the novel unfolds over three parts, employing a stream-of-consciousness style that delves into the inner thoughts of its characters. This modernist masterpiece reflects the changing perceptions of reality and the fluidity of time, echoing the existential uncertainties of the early 20th century. Through vivid imagery and philosophical musings, Woolf captures the ephemeral nature of life and art, illustrating how memories shape our identity and relationships. Virginia Woolf, a seminal figure in the literary modernist movement, was deeply influenced by her surroundings, social context, and personal struggles. The loss of her mother at a young age and the subsequent impact on her own family dynamics informed her exploration of themes such as grief, love, and creative expression. Woolf's interest in the interplay of time and consciousness is reflective of her progressive ideas on gender and identity, which continue to resonate in contemporary discourse. 'To the Lighthouse' is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of human experience and perception. Woolf's intricate character studies and thematic depth offer a rich, immersive reading experience that challenges conventional narrative structures. This novel not only exemplifies Woolf's innovative literary techniques but also serves as an essential text for understanding the evolution of modern literature.

God the Invisible King (Unabridged)

H. G. Wells

This book sets out as forcibly and exactly as possible the religious belief of the writer. That belief is not orthodox Christianity; it is not, indeed, Christianity at all; its core nevertheless is a profound belief in a personal and intimate God. There is nothing in its statements that need shock or offend anyone who is prepared for the expression of a faith different from and perhaps in several particulars opposed to his own.

In Exile

Anton Chekhov

"In Exile" was first published in  May 1892 issue of the Vsemirnaya Illustratsiya magazine.
The story was inspired by Chekhov's journey through Siberia and his stay in Sakhalin and, in particular, two episodes of this trip.
While on Sakhalin,  Anton Chekhov met a boatman nicknamed Krasivy, a self-professed 'happy man' who struck him with his own peculiar brand of Tolstovian philosophy. It was Krasivy, apparently, who became a prototype for Semyon Tolkovy, the story's hero.

Balkan Trail The (Unabridged)

Frederick Moore

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
