To The Lighthouse Penguin Modern Classics

“To the Lighthouse” is Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece set around the Ramsay family’s summer visits to the Isle of Skye and their long-postponed trip to a nearby lighthouse. Through shifting perspectives and stream‑of‑consciousness narration, Woolf explores memory, time, war, and the tensions of domestic life, moving from bright childhood longing to the quiet aftermath of World War I and a return to the island years later.
