"It's wondrous to listen to a fine reading of a long-loved novel. Leishman makes masterly use of volume, timbre and resonance to distinguish between characters and draw us into the emotional swings and vibrations of the internal musings of each. She creates not a new but a more nuanced reading, following the interwoven streams of consciousness in a British English that lends authenticity to each voice. Leishman swims smoothly through Woolf's sentences that ebb and flow with numerous parenthetical thoughts and fresh images. These passages are interspersed with quick, sharp, simple sentences that gain strength in contrast. Leishman also draws our attention to Woolf's poetic prose: her rhythms and images, her use of hard consonants in monosyllabic words in counterpoint to long, soft, dreamy words and phrases. To The Lighthouse plays back and forth between telescopic and microscopic views of nature and human nature. Mrs. Ramsey is both trapped in and pleased in her roles as wife, mother and hostess. The introspective Mr. Ramsey is consumed with his legacy of long-since-published abstract philosophy. This is a book that cannot be read—or heard—too often."
--Publishers Weekly
内容简介
This is the story of a woman and her family experiencing the passage of time and seeking to recapture meaning from the flux of things. Though Mrs Ramsay's death is the event on which the novel turns, her presence pervades every page in a poetic evocation of loss and memory.
作者简介
Virginia Woolf (January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.
During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(或译弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙)。英国女作家,被誉为二十世纪现代主义与女性主义的先锋。两次世界大战期间,她是伦敦文学界的核心人物,同时也是布卢姆茨伯里派(Bloomsbury Group)的成员之一。最知名的小说包括《戴洛维夫人》(Mrs. Dalloway)、《到灯塔去》(To the Lighthouse)、《雅各的房间》(Jakob's Room)。
精彩书评
"To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time."
--Margaret Drabble
"Without question one of the two or three finest novels of the twentieth century. Woolf comments on the most pressing dramas of our human predicament: war, mortality, family, love. If you're like me you'll come back to this book often, always astounded, always moved, always refreshed."
--Rick Moody

第二部“岁月流逝”,开始时书中人物准备就寝,在这部分结束时,一些同样的人物又重复同样的动作,但是在时间上已相隔了整整十年。这十年时间,作者用一段简短而抒情的散文来加以描述,它所占的篇幅不到十分之一。似乎经过一夜的睡眠,十年时间就朦胧恍惚地消逝了。在这段时间里,爆发了第一次世界大战,拉姆齐夫人逝世了,普鲁难产而死,安德鲁在战争中牺牲了,诗人卡迈克尔赢得了拉姆齐先生所没有的声誉。大战结束后,拉姆齐一家重返别墅,其中有些人准备来完成他们在第一部中没有完成的业绩,以了心中的宿愿。
