Embark on a transcendental journey through the realms of consciousness, time, and human existence with Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, "To the Lighthouse." This illustrated edition, enriched with visually stunning illustrations, invites readers into the ethereal world of the Ramsay family and their companions, exploring the intricate tapestry of their minds and experiences.
"To the Lighthouse" goes deep into the hearts and minds of its protagonists, unraveling their thoughts, desires, and existential contemplations against the hauntingly beautiful background of the Isle of Skye. The novel, a modernist literary landmark, is a symphonic creation of contemplative soliloquies that weaves the unsaid and the felt into a timeless story.
The story, structured in three pivotal movements – "The Window," "Time Passes," and "The Lighthouse" – paints a multifaceted portrait of human nature. From Mrs. Ramsay’s nurturing spirit and Mr. Ramsay’s philosophical quandaries to Lily Briscoe’s artistic pursuits, the characters traverse through the silent corridors of their souls, seeking meaning in the transient dance of life and death.
The luminous prose of Woolf, combined with the innovative stream of consciousness technique, creates a mesmerizing narrative that flows like a river through the landscapes of human consciousness. This edition, adorned with illustrations and accompanied by a concise summary, a detailed characters list, and an insightful author biography, offers an enriched experience of this literary gem.
"To the Lighthouse" is not just a book; it’s a philosophical odyssey that beckons readers to explore the uncharted territories of the human soul, to reflect on the whispers of the unuttered, and to witness the unseen colors of humanity. It’s a luminous journey that resonates with the eternal quest for understanding and transcending the confines of existence, inviting one and all to navigate the ever-enigmatic seas of life.

    At the bottom of the ocean lived the sea king, his old mother and his six daughters. They lived in a beautiful castle, surrounded by a big garden, of which each daughter took care of a small corner. The little mermaid, the youngest and most beautiful of the princesses, liked nothing more than stories of men and in her garden she had a marble statue of a handsome youth, which had sunk below down after a shipwreck. On the day of their fifteenth birthday, the young mermaids had the right to swim to the surface to see the world above and the little mermaid listened with pleasure to the stories her sisters told when they came back from these visits. She waited impatiently for her turn to come.-

    Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The Irish Short Story tradition is packed with literary leviathans who take the raw ingredients of the land, it’s people and their own talents to create quite dazzling narratives in these perfectly pitched short stories.  Genius has many names.

    Herland is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction). The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. The story is told from the perspective of Vandyck "Van" Jennings, a student of sociology who, along with two friends (Terry O. Nicholson and Jeff Margrave), forms an expedition party to explore an area of uncharted land where it is rumored lives a society consisting entirely of women. The three friends do not entirely believe the rumors because they are unable to think of a way how human reproduction could occur without males. The men speculate about what a society of women would be like, each guessing differently based on the stereotype of women which he holds most dear: Jeff regarding women as things to be served and protected; Terry viewing them as things to be conquered and won.
