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.


每年夏天，蘭姆斯一家人都會到美麗的天空島 (Isle of Skye) 度假。在島上一家人和朋友談天說笑，這是維吉尼亞．吳爾芙年少時美好的回憶。歲月流逝，第一次世界大戰爆發，書中以獨特的手法描述人物內心的想法和觀察，讓這段美好回憶更顯得珍貴。此為吳爾芙最具自傳性和高度現代主義的小說，死亡、社會階層和內心思想的主題貫穿全書。即使人事已非，懷念逝者的美麗回憶也永不消逝。
