An keinem ihrer Romane kann man das so genau studieren als an 'Zum Leuchtturm'. Denn zum einen gilt er als der innovativste und vollkommenste ihre Romane. Zum anderen gibt es kein Buch von ihr, in dem ihr Nachdenken über die Kindheit, ihre über alles verehrte Mutter und den unnahbaren Vater so klar Kontur gewinnt. Aus dem reichen Fundus der von Klaus Reichert herausgegebenen 30-bändigen Virginia-Woolf-Gesamtausgabe werden Briefe, Erzählungen, Tagebucheinträge und Essays neben den Roman gestellt, dessen Kunst sich erst in der Vielfalt der Stimmen und Perspektiven entfaltet - die Neuentdeckung eines der größten Kunstwerke des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Every summer, the Ramsays visit their summer home on the beautiful Isle of Skye, surrounded by the excitement and chatter of family and friends, mirroring Virginia Woolf's own joyful holidays of her youth. But as time passes, and in its wake the First World War, the transience of life becomes ever more apparent through the vignette of the thoughts and observations of the novel's disparate cast.

A landmark of high modernism and the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf's novels, To the Lighthouse explores themes of loss, class structure and the question of perception, in a hauntingly beautiful memorial to the lost but not forgotten.

Chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.
