To the Lighthouse is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf. The novel centres on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920.
Following and extending the tradition of modernist novelists like Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the plot of To the Lighthouse is secondary to its philosophical introspection. Cited as a key example of the literary technique of multiple focalization, the novel includes little dialogue and almost no direct action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations. To the Lighthouse is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family, living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland. There's maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the highbrow Mr. Ramsay, their eight children, and assorted holiday guests. From Mr. Ramsay's seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Virginia Woolf examines tensions and allegiances and shows that the small joys and quiet tragedies of everyday life could go on forever. The novel recalls childhood emotions and highlights adult relationships. Among the book's many tropes and themes are those of loss, subjectivity, the nature of art and the problem of perception.

Known for the unique use of the Stream of Consciousness technique, To the Lighthouse is a masterpiece from the modernist period. Hardly containing plot, the novel portrays the complex net of relationships between the characters and their individual thoughts, giving the reader insight into their minds otherwise not possible. A truly inspiring book and a must read for anybody interested in early twentieth century literature or Virginia Woolf!
150 Seiten und die ganze Handlung passt in einen Satz!

Virginia Woolf gilt ja bekanntlich als eine der größten Schriftstellerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts und ist Vorbild für viele Autorinnen, die nach ihr kamen. In gewisser Weise verstehe ich das ja, denn ihre Art zu schreiben ist definitiv modernistisch und ungewöhnlich. Allerdings ist es auch etwas ermüdend, wenn auf insgesamt über 150 Seiten ein Zeitraum von nur 2 Tagen erzählt wird und die vielen, vielen Charaktere hauptsächlich und sehr verworren denken und ihr Gefühls- und Seelenleben dargestellt wird.
Sicherlich sollte man mal etwas von ihr gelesen haben und ich bereue es auch nicht, aber wer auf der Suche nach Unterhaltung und auch einer halbwegs fesselnden Handlung ist, sollte um "To the lighthouse" besser einen Bogen machen.
