內容簡介

內容簡介 國際知名作家瑪格麗特‧愛特伍：在許多閱讀經驗中，有些書就是得等到讀者準備好了，一切才會水到渠成！這需要運氣，而我很幸運地讀了《燈塔行》！文學史上的傳奇作家，塑造文學史的經典之作現代主義小說開創性之經典作品，談婚姻、藝術，談人生、死亡……偉大女作家維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙《燈塔行》：生命的意義是什麼？一個簡單的問題；一個容易隨著歲月迫近人的問題。偉大的啟示從沒有來到。倒是有每日小小的奇蹟、闡釋，黑暗中火柴突然地劃亮；這兒就有一個。◎名列二十世紀百大英文小說（Modern Library 100 Best Novels）◎《時代雜誌》評選百大英文小說（Time’s All Time 100 Novels）◎1927年甫出版便好評不斷，被譽為吳爾芙最偉大的小說作品之一◎影響深遠，具劃時代里程碑意義，女性文學、現代主義之經典「為什麼我會對這故事感到難以置信且無可救藥的浪漫？我想是因為過往的記憶；我看到孩子們在花園裡奔跑……夜晚的海洋……四十年的生活，所有這一切都建立在這基礎之上，也時常被回憶滲透：太多太多的一切，我永遠無法解釋。 」－－維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙《燈塔行》可說是吳爾芙自傳色彩極為濃厚的小說，利用獨特的意識流技法，探索了角色的內在思維，並描繪了一個瞬息萬變的時代社會。旨在探討婚姻、感知，記憶和時間消逝之題。小說中的雷姆塞先生與雷姆塞太太脫胎於吳爾芙的父母。吳爾芙的父親在聖艾芙斯購置了一棟別墅，每年夏天前往度假，直到她母親過世。所以吳爾芙在十三歲前每年都度過一段歡樂的假期，也在她心中留下深刻的印象。與小說中一樣，別墅旁邊就是海灣，海中小島也真的有一座燈塔。吳爾芙十歲時編過一個故事，就是《燈塔行》的雛形。小說第一部分〈窗〉精確刻畫日常生活中夫妻婚姻間存在之衝突與心靈和諧的狀態。第二部分〈歲月流逝〉以快速筆調描寫十年之變遷，人事已非。第三部分〈燈塔〉敘述喪偶之雷姆塞先生與其子女完成其妻生前未竟的燈塔之行。全書文辭精鍊，象徵意味濃厚，並充滿吳爾芙揮之不去的女性意識關懷。本中文書介出自《燈塔行》聯經出版事業股份有限公司出版A must-have new edition of Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece, featuring a cover illustrated by Alison Bechdel, the New York Times bestselling author of Fun Home, and a new foreword by Patricia LockwoodA Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe EditionEvery summer, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey and their eight children vacation on Scotland’s idyllic Isle of Skye, surrounded by artist friends. They expect these summers will go on forever, but with the arrival of World War I, they are forced to reckon with change, loss, and time’s unstoppable march, before making, years later, the long-awaited return to Skye and to its towering lighthouse. An intimate, impressionistic meditation on memory, grief, the brutalities of war, and the tensions of domestic life, revolutionary for its use of stream of consciousness and shifting points of view, and infused with a singular poetic essence, To the Lighthouse is both a landmark in modernist writing and one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century.This edition is collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author’s intentions, and includes a catalog of emendations, a foreword by the acclaimed novelist, memoirist, and poet Patricia Lockwood, and an introduction by the distinguished biographer and critic Hermione Lee."
