TO THE LIGHTHOUSE

'For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. / And that was what now she often felt the need of-to think; well not even / to think, to be silent; to be alone...'/ First published in 1972, To the Lighthouse is an exceptional experiment in / the literary technique of stream of consciousness. It is considered as one / of the best English-language novels of the twentieth century. This novel by / Virginia Woolf is an epitome of human desire, a force that pulsates over / the indifferent sea of the natural world leading people's passage across it. / To the Lighthouse, like Woolf 's other works, has earned its rightful place in / feminist literature of all times./
