From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, the author of the novel constructs a remarkable, moving examination of the complex tensions and allegiances of family life and the conflict between men and women. About this novel, the writer writes that – up to forty years and over – she was obsessed with her mother’s presence, until one day, as she crossed Tavistock Square, she had thought of the lighthouse urgently. One thing aroused another. That effervescence had pushed to write a book quickly.
Writing, Virgina Woolf had given expression to some ancient emotion. She was born in London in 1882. She and her brother soon showed their literary inclination, also giving birth to the home newspaper, where they wrote invented stories. Virginia became famous writer and essayist, considered to be one of the leading figures in 20th century literature. In the summer of 1940, she published the latest work, while her depressive crises became more and more violent, with anxiety and mood swings, which in March 1941 forced her to fill the pockets with stones and took her own life by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.
